Great, thanks! It's at least more elegant than overwriting __str__.

It's a basic question, but after looking at the manual for a while I couldn't find the answer, so here goes.

R = RootSystem(["A",7])
print R.weight_lattice().fundamental_weight(1)

returns Lambda[1]. Is it possible to rename Lambda here? I could hack this by overriding the .__str__ method, but is there a cleaner method?

Thanks! We'll just work around it for now, maybe I'll have a go at improving Sage in the future.

2018-11-06 17:01:22 +0200 asked a question Are subtypes of Cartan types implemented correctly?

Consider the following code

CartanType("B3").subtype([2, 3]).index_set()
CartanType("B3").subtype([1, 3]).index_set()

It gives

(2, 3)
(1, 2)

in Sage 8.4. Is it wrong to expect the index set of a subtype to be the subset used in defining the subtype? From my point of view this inconsistency leads to all kinds of unexpected behaviour in the relabellings for subtypes, but maybe it is intentional?
