Anna,

Welcome to the group!

It looks like this code comes from the following ticket:

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4470

in which Michael Abshoff comments:

commit 10629 is mostly the AUTO code by Bernd Souvignier - the code
has been made available under a GPL V2+ compatible license, but that
needs to be formalized. It is called via pexpect, but probably can be
called via Cython directly. It is only one file. If we keep using the
pexpect interface it should be moved into its own spkg.

You can see in the file
sage/quadratic_forms/quadratic_forms__automorphisms.py (line ~433)

    ## Call the Souvigner automorphism code
    souvigner_auto_path = SAGE_ROOT + "/local/bin/Souvigner_AUTO"
           ## FIX THIS LATER!!!

Which echoes the ticket you mentioned. There is no Souvigner_AUTO in
local/bin, however. Some quick Googling suggests that this was in
sage-3.3.rc0, but I don't know where the source is (this file is just
a binary file).

His website is here, perhaps someone should contact him:
