I import mpmath into sage by
import mpmath as mp
then I try to create an identity matrix by
mp.eye(3)
but this does not work, it raises the error
TypeError: could not interpret given arguments
rather I have to tell mpmath that indeed 3 is an integer, so
mp.eye(int(3))
does work. Also raising mpmath matrix M to a power has the same problem
M^3
does not work. Again I have to do
M^(int(3))
why is this the case? can that be circumvented somehow? ("eye(3)" does work in python)
