How to calculate rotation and spin coefficients of tetrads in SageMath?

I'm trying to reproduce the results of this paper where the author calculates the Ricci rotation and spin coefficients with Mathematica, when provided a metric and a choice of tetrads. I looked through the literature and references of SageMath and I couldn't find any mention of tetrad methods.

I came across this post in this forum from 3 years ago where the answer mentions that general tetrads are implemented but spin coefficient methods are not. It links to the documentation page with a lot of info and since I'm a total beginner in SageMath, I'm finding it very difficult to understand what needs to be done. Can anyone help me with how to do this or maybe refer me to a notebook example where this is done? Please let me know. Thanks.
