 Hi Jason,

 Thank you for your comments! I have uploaded a revised patch addressing
 the issues you raised:

 >   1. It looks like your implementation assumes ZZ as a base ring.  Any
 reason not to allow any ring?

 Done.

 >   2. I would prefer the elements print as `a[0] a[1]` instead of `a0 a1`
 so that copy-paste can work.  Do you have a preference one way or the
 other?

 There is now an option in

     def _repr_term(self, t, display = "short"):

 which allows to display the output in the long or short notation.

 >   3. In the documentation for the class, you should mention that the
 relations should be understood mod n.

 Done.

 >   4. In the _element_constructor, I would expect the presence of a braid
 relation trigger to return 0.  Is there a reason that you raise an error
 instead?

 Done now. As we discussed by e-mail in private, it might make more sense
 to eventually construct this algebra as a quotient algebra. This would
 depend on the 'functorial constructions' patch of Nicolas and Florent. I
 left a note about this in the code.

 One slight warning: I now inserted a line

         assert(self(w) != self.zero())

 in product_on_basis, which might slow down calculations, but is safer.

 Cheers,

 Anne
