0/1-equivalence for polytopes

Dear all, for polytopes there is a method P.is_combinatorially_isomorphic(Q) which tests if two polytopes are combinatorially equivalent, i.e. if their face lattices are isomorphic.

I would like to test two 0/1-polytopes, i.e. polytopes which are the convex hull of a subset of the vertices of a (canonically embedded) hypercube Qn[0,1]n, for 0/1-equivalence. This means that there is an automorphism of Qn that maps P to Q. Explicitly, the automorphism should be a combination of permuting the variables and flipping xi1x1.

A reference is Ziegler, Lectures on 0/1-polytopes. He also mentions:

The full-dimensional 0/1-polytopes of dimension d = 4 were first enumerated by Alexx Below: There are 349 different 0/1-equivalence classes. In dimension 5 there are exactly 1226525 different 0/1-equivalence classes of 5-dimensional 0/1-polytopes. This classification was done by Oswin Aichholzer [2]: a considerable achievement, which was possible only by systematic use of all the symmetry that is in- herent in the problem.

It would be great to have access to a database of 0/1-polytopes, and be able to compare all facets of dimension at most 4 of some polytope P to candidates in the database, and classify them, something similar to

G.structure_description()

but for 0/1-polytopes.

Of secondary importance (to me) would be checking two polytopes for for affine equivalence and congruence.

Is this implemented i Sagemath?

Edit: the answer by Max Alekseyev points me in the right direction. I will investigate the polydb and polymake docs. Thanks for the help!
