 Currently a function that converts a symmetric polynomial into the
 monomial basis is missing in sage. Jason Bandlow wrote a first version
 which should be integrated into sage:

 def toSF(f):
     """ Input is a symmetric polynomial in a polynomial ring in finitely
     many variables.  Output is a symmetric function in the monomial
     basis of the ring of symmetric functions over the same base ring.
     """
     X = f.parent().gens()
     n = f.parent().ngens()
     SF = SymmetricFunctions(f.base_ring())
     m = SF.monomial()
     out = m(0)
     while f != 0:
         lt = f.lt()
         c = lt.monomial_coefficient(lt)
         p = Partition(lt.exponents()[0])
         f += -c*m(p).expand(n,X)
         out += c*m(p)
     return out
