Gaussian Curvature of a 2D manifold.

Given a two-dimensional manfiold M, a chart X, a metric and the connection coefficents, is it possible to calculate the Gaussian curvature of this manifold using SageManifolds?

I thought that such an opperation would look something like "K = M.gaussian_curvature()", but I get the following attribute error:

'DifferentiableManifold_with_category' object has no attribute 'gaussian_curvature'.

I'm new to SageManifolds, and I'm a little confused with how to proceed.
