Comment (by ncohen):

 Replying to [comment:30 dimpase]:
 > Come on, why do you think that 10 lines of `libgap.blah(libgap.foo...)`,
 e.g. in ` _polar_graph()` in the same file are better than an honest
 10-line GAP function?

 If you make a syntax error somewhere you see it when the module is loaded,
 not when the file is run. The error is a Python error. On the other hand,
 if you wait till the code is loaded, you may get a GAP error. Or may not
 if the error is not well reported. Syntax highlight too, which you cannot
 have if you feed a string. Plus you can debug with Python commands.

 I find it much better than the big string. And worse than being able to
 work directly on Sage objects.

 > Is it contrary to your religion, or something? I just don't get it,
 sorry.

 I answered above. You can write to sage-devel if you need other people's
 advice, too.

 > This piece above is a good example of a GAP function getting lost while
 in search of `function_factory`...

 Ideally, the mathematical features should be exposed in Sage objects.
