Well, you could do sage: all([H==H.factor().prod() for k in range(20)]) True to doctest it. (I'm assuming that the "prod" method just does basic multiplication, and so its implementation has nothing to do with that of "factor", so "H==H.factor().prod()" actually tests something meaningful.) -- John -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
