Comment (by bransingh):

 '''This is just a rough way of computing Lie superbracket'''


 Definition:      F.super_bracket(self, x, y)
 Source:
         def super_bracket(self, x, y):
             """
             Returns the Lie super bracket `[x, y] = x y -(-1)^{|x||y|} y
 x` of `x` and `y`.

             INPUT:

              - ``x``, ``y`` -- elements of ``self``

             EXAMPLES::

                 sage: F = SuperAlgebrasWithBasis(QQ).example()
                 sage: F
                 An example of an superalgebra with basis: the free
 superalgebra on the generators ('a', 'b', 'c') over Rational Field
                 sage: a,b,c = F.super_algebra_generators()
                 sage: F.super_bracket(a,b)
                 B[word: ab] - B[word: ba]

             This measures the default of commutation between `x` and `y`.
             `F` endowed with the super_bracket operation is a Lie super
 algebra;
             in particular, it satisfies super Jacobi's identity::

                 sage: F.super_bracket( F.super_bracket(a,b), c) +
 F.super_bracket(F.super_bracket(b,c),a) +
 F.super_bracket(F.super_bracket(c,a),b)
                 0
             """
               def degree(self,x):
                  if x is even:
                         0
                  else:
                         1

          return x*y - (-1)^{degree(x)*degree(y)}y*x
