Yep, there's a general Sage convert functionality, which is often
R(foo), where R is a parent object, and foo is anything that might
make sense. Be careful though, since it can easily lead to
mathematically meaningless results, since "R(foo)" in Sage means "make
something in R from foo by hook or crook".
Another useful command is sage_eval, which is like Python's eval, but
with the preparser:
R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage_eval('1 - x*y', globals())
-x*y + 1
Note that I expect this to work, but it doesn't:
R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage_eval('1 - x*y', {x:x, y:y})
