 Looks like there is a bug in Partitions.  Partitions(n, max_slope=-1)
 should give the partitions of n with distinct parts, right?
 {{{
 sage: Partitions(2, max_slope=-1).list()
 [[2]]
 sage: Partitions(4, max_slope=-1).list()
 [[4], [3, 1]]
 }}}
 But if you add the "length" keyword, it doesn't work anymore, at least not
 completely:
 {{{
 sage: Partitions(2, max_slope=-1, length=2).list()  # doesn't work
 [[1, 1]]
 sage: Partitions(4, max_slope=-1, length=2).list()  # works
 [[3, 1]]
 sage: Partitions(4, max_slope=-1, length=3).list()  # doesn't work
 [[2, 1, 1]]
 }}}
