I want to change the way vectors are rendered in sagetex. For example, consider v = vector([1, 2, 3]). In sagetex, the command $v=\sage{v}$ renders as
$$
v=(1, 2, 3)
$$
Instead, I want my vectors to take the form
$$
v=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1&2&3\end{array}\right]^\intercal
$$
I thought I could do this by resetting the _latex_ method of the sage.modules.free_module_element.FreeModuleElement class as follows.
def my_vector_latex(self):
return matrix(v)._latex_() + r'^\intercal'
setattr(sage.modules.free_module_element.FreeModuleElement, '_latex_', my_vector_latex)
However, this code throws the following error:
TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'sage.modules.free_module_element.FreeModuleElement'
So, it looks like I can't modify the methods of FreeModuleElement in this way. Is there anything else I could do?
