Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Hello,

 Replying to [comment:21 mmasdeu]:
 > 1) In the timings I had, it look like it was faster to create the tuple
 out of the list instead of the generator expression. But I have changed it
 as you proposed.

 Looks strange! I do not understand why {{{[i for i in l]}}} should be
 faster than {{{tuple(i for i in l)}}}...

 > 2) I have reverted back to one single function as you proposed. The
 output is as both John and myself had decided: the exponents can be any
 nonzero integer, not just +1 or -1. I have applications for this kind of
 output and so may have other potential users.

 Thanks.

 > 3) I use now cached_method instead manual caching. I changed the
 try/except blocks with a more elegant solution (I think it is better than
 what you suggest --which also doesn't work because matrices in SL2Z do not
 have a unary "-"--, since it uses half the queries in a dictionary).

 Nice. Do you know why SL2Z matrices do not have a unary `-`?

 Vincent
