I have a simplicial complex and I want to get the chains of its chain complex. I have the following code:

S = SimplicialComplex([[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4]])
print(S.chain_complex().homology(generators=True)[1][0][1])

It prints:

Chain(1:(1, 0, -1, 0, 1))

which is one of the chains of dimension one. It is of type

 <class 'sage.homology.chain_com`enter code here`plex.ChainComplex_class_with_category.element_class'>

How do I access the list of numbers (1, 0, -1, 0, 1) of this chain?

Thanks in advance.

You want the vector method:

sage: S = SimplicialComplex([[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4]])
sage: H = S.chain_complex().homology(generators=True)[1][0][1]
sage: H.vector?
Signature:      H.vector(degree)
Docstring:     
   Return the free module element in "degree".

   EXAMPLES:

      sage: C = ChainComplex({0: matrix(ZZ, 2, 3, [3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])})
      sage: c = C({0:vector([1, 2, 3]), 1:vector([4, 5])})
      sage: c.vector(0)
      (1, 2, 3)
      sage: c.vector(1)
      (4, 5)
      sage: c.vector(2)
      ()
Init docstring: Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
File:           ~/Desktop/Sage/git/sage/src/sage/homology/chain_complex.py
Type:           method
sage: H.vector(1)
(1, 0, -1, 0, 1)
sage: v = H.vector(1)
sage: type(v)
<class 'sage.modules.vector_integer_dense.Vector_integer_dense'>
