Comment:

 Having looked at the code in ssmod.py, it seems to me that any nontrivial
 functionality is only implemented for level 1 at the moment.  Two things
 that I tried: dimension() and hecke_matrix().

 The attached patch raises !ValueErrors if the characteristic is not prime
 or if the level is not coprime to the characteristic, and a
 !NotImplementedError if the level is > 1.

 Extending the functionality in ssmod.py to general levels is right up my
 alley, so I'll look into doing it in the near future.  The code could also
 use more documentation and tests.
