using GAP: Group Theory

edit

I'm trying this code base on the book "Adventures in Group Theory" from D.Joyner

MS=MatrixSpace(GF(2),3,3) 
A=MS([0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,1]) 
B=MS([1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0])
G=MatrixGroup([A,B]) G1=SymmetricGroup(3)
imG=G._gap_().IsomorphismPermGroup().Image(G._gap_())
imG

Sym( [ 2 .. 4 ] )

gens=imG.GeneratorsOfGroup()
gens

[ (3,4), (2,3) ]

G2=PermutationGroup([(3,4),(2,3)])
G2.is_isomorphic(G1)

True

However, there seems to be a signature problem the following commands don't work: (the first one was from the book, I tried myself the second one)

G2=PermutationGroup(gens)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "_sage_input_92.py", line 10, in <module> exec compile(u'open("___code___.py","w").write("# -- coding: utf-8 --\n" + _support_.preparse_worksheet_cell(base64.b64decode("RzI9UGVybXV0YXRpb25Hcm91cChnZW5zKQ=="),globals())+"\n"); execfile(os.path.abspath("___code___.py")) File "", line 1, in <module>

I cannot make much of the documentation. Thanks.
