It is needed and is one of the most frequently asked questions on the GAP support list. The "hardness" depends on your programming expertise, energy level, and knowledge of Lie theory. The chevie web page http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~CHEVIE/chevie-gap.html discusses the topics covered (though you probably know that). Another option is to try to translate the GAP3 Chevie code directly to SAGE/Python, instead of GAP4. If you choose to go the GAP4 route, I strongly suggest contacting Frank Luebeck at Aachen. > > Best, > Nikos > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
