Hi,
I'd like to ask the following:
I'd like to use SAGE in order to compute something with the free magma online calculator and then convert it into a GAP object. Unfortunately, there occurs an error, and I don't know, how to fix this. Any help is very much appreciated.
I followed the example on page 91 of http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Thomas.Breuer/ctbllib/doc/manual.pdf
Here is what I did:
sage: gap.LoadPackage('"ctbllib"');
sage: ct=magma_free("G:=Alt(5);ct:=CharacterTable(G);ct;")
sage: tmpdir = gap.DirectoryTemporary()
sage: file=gap.Filename(tmpdir, '"magmatable"')
sage: gap.FileString(file,ct)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
