It seems to me that the issue might be that Sage doesn't understand
how Hom(ZZ^3, ZZ^1) is a (free) module over ZZ. If you could coerce it
into that category, then the object H = Hom(ZZ^3, ZZ^1) would have
generators induced by those of ZZ^3 and ZZ^1 and then specifying a map
in Hom( ZZ^3, Hom( ZZ^3, ZZ^1 ) ) would go something like:
{{{
H = Hom( ZZ^3, ZZ^1 )
HH = Hom( ZZ^3, H )
f = H(0)
phi = HH( [f, f, f] )
}}}
but this doesn't work, I get:
AttributeError: 'FreeModuleHomspace_with_category' object has no
attribute 'coordinates'
I tried some other things.. one would like to define an isomorphism
between ZZ^3 and Hom( ZZ^3, ZZ^1 ), but the obvious thing (to me)
doesn't work:
{{{
M = ZZ^3
H = Hom( ZZ^3, ZZ^1 )
phi = M.hom( [ H([1,0,0]), H([0,1,0]), H([0,0,1]) ], H )
}}}
raises: AttributeError: 'FreeModuleHomspace_with_category' object has
no attribute 'coordinates'
Again, I guess the ZZ-module structure on H is necessary in order to
define a morphism by specifying where the generators of M go.
