gap record

edit

Hello,

I would like to manipulate gap records (association name -> value) through sage... but it does not seem available. Here is a sample from GAP

gap> rec( a := 1, b := "deux" );
rec( a := 1, b := "deux" )
gap> r.a;
1
gap> r.b;
"deux"

But in Sage

sage: w = gap('rec( a := 1, b := "deux" );')
sage: w
rec(
  a := 1,
  b := "deux" )
sage: w.a
a
sage: w.b
b

Which is very strange!! Hopefully, it is still possible to do

sage: gap("{}.a".format(w._name))
1
sage: gap("{}.b".format(w._name))
deux

Is there a better way to deal with them?

Thanks Vincent
