Hi

I am trying to compute the p-part of a class groups of some number fields. I was hoping to just call G.sylow_subgroup(p), but this function is not implemented for Abelian groups. In addition, invariants doesn't seem to work, for example, if G= C6, then G.invariants() returns [6], which doesn't seem correct.

I would appreciate any advice on how to do this. For example, can I coerce an Abelian Group to just be a finite group?

Note: I asked this on IRC without an answer. I hope it is not bad form to ask it here.
