New description:
It would be great to have an interface to GAP3 so that one can use GAP3
packages that have not been ported to GAP4. Of particular interest are the
packages (sage-devel occasionally receives questions about integrating
these packages):
* CHEVIE: Finite reflection groups and their root systems, braid groups,
Iwahori-Hecke algebras, and Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.
* Specht: Specht: Decomposition matrices for the Hecke algebras of type
A.
For a list of other GAP3 packages, check out
[http://www.gap-system.org/Gap3/Packages3/packages.html]
To use the interface implemented in this ticket, you need to have GAP3
installed on your machine.
To this end, you can use Jean Michel's GAP3 distribution
http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~jmichel/gap3/gap3-jm4.tar.gz
(instructions: http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~jmichel/gap3), which
includes a bunch of GAP3 packages (including Chevie, Specht, ...),
A simple alternative is to install the following Sage package
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/nthiery/gap3-jm2.spkg,
based on a slightly outdated version of the above. Just download it,
and use:
{{{
sage -i gap3-jm2.spkg
}}}
