Comment(by schilly):

 wow, this still exists. The doctest looks fine, is it possible to indent
 the options for the argument? Apart from that I strongly suggest to use
 numpy for that. They solve the 2-norm special case via svd and all the
 others might be faster. They also have a -infinity case.

 {{{
 sage: from numpy.linalg.linalg import cond
 sage: A = matrix([[1,2,4],[5,3,9],[7,8,6]])
 sage: cond(A)
 13.139632629120618
 sage: cond(A, 1)
 22.88636363636364
 sage: cond(A, 'fro')
 14.21690371493278
 sage: import numpy as np
 sage: cond(A, np.inf)
 19.090909090909093
 sage: cond(A, -np.inf)
 2.5454545454545454
 }}}

 complex also works

 {{{
 sage: A = matrix([[1+2j, 1+3j], [1+1j, 0.5-0.5j]])
 sage: cond(A, np.inf)
 4.2200687516284452
 sage: cond(A)
 3.2255049266776936
 }}}
