Thats generally the case for parents. The point is not that constructing a parent is super-difficult, but that it provides an object that plays nicely with the rest of Sage and is a natural point at which to attach more functionality (which can then be costly to compute). Finitely presented groups are parents, construction is trivial, but investigating their properties is not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
