First encountered by Ralf on #15625, Sage can't translate back from GAP
with eval for extremely large numbers:
sage: ans=gap.eval("Lucas(%s,%s,%s)[1]"%(1,-1,100))
sage: ans
'354224848179261915075'
sage: ans=gap.eval("Lucas(%s,%s,%s)[1]"%(1,-1,100000))
sage: ans
'<integer 259...875 (20899 digits)>'
although this does work for
gap.Lucas(1,-1,100000)
Is there someway we could translate the eval() output back into a Sage
integer? Also more generally, should we keep using gap.eval() in Sage code
or gap.explicit_function()?
Best,
Travis
