Comment (by vbraun):

 Thats really a pattern that is all over the combinatorics stuff:
 {{{
 sage: iter(Partitions(4)).next()[0]
 4
 sage: type(_)
 <type 'int'>
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 sage: g = SymmetricGroup(3).gen(0)
 sage: type(g(1))
 <type 'int'>
 }}}
 I've tripped more than once over this, its really common to want to do
 `n.factorial()` for some integer from a partition.
