Comment:

 Okay, this makes lots of sense, and in fact we should check hasattr with
 that first.  Patch coming up, which should work but will also allow
 (perhaps this is not good):
 {{{
             sage: p = PermutationGroupElement('(3,4,8,7,9)')
             sage: p.sign()
             1
             sage: sign(p)
             1
 }}}
