When you do the above it produces a message that one must do a
precomputation first.  Have your student paste this into Sage exactly
as is, then try again:

sage: sympow('-new_data 1d0')
sage: sympow('-new_data 1d1')
sage: sympow('-new_data 1d2')

etc. until the command

 sage: print sympow.Lderivs(EllipticCurve('11a'), 1, 16, 2)  # not tested

works.   We have not automated doing the new_data precomputation
yet, due to lack of time.  Perhaps your student could make it automated
and submit a patch for inclusion in Sage.

Anyway, after doing the above, one has:

sage: print sympow.Lderivs(EllipticCurve('11a'), 1, 16, 2)
