Hi @Gonnerman,

Glad to hear you're thinking about Sage :) I am not aware of a general constructor for arbitrary Lie algebras, although there is substantial functionality related to certain Lie group computations. Beyond that, the best way to answer your question is probably to browse the reference manual (e.g. the section on Rings) and see if there is enough functionality for you to do the computations you're interested in. There is also documentation for various basic constructions in Sage.
