Hi Kiran, Adding good Lie algebra support to Sage has been something on my list for awhile. I just made it out here to Berkeley and am going to be here all semester for the program at MSRI. I was that you were registered for the workshop next week. What time do you get in? We can discuss things there. Also, if there is anything in symmetrica that you'd like exposed just let me know and I can do that right away.
