Group of units of number field mod ideal

I am wondering whether Sage has a built-in function that takes an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of a number field and returns the unit group of the quotient ring $(\mathcal{O}_K / \mathfrak{a})^{\times}.$

More specifically the problem is to iterate through the characters of $(\mathcal{O}_K / \mathfrak{a})^{\times}$ (essentially Hecke characters) and apply them to a given element of $\mathcal{O}_K$. I am at a bit of a loss as to how to do this in Sage.
