It looks to me as though there are some crossed wires here. The permutation is acting on *any* list of length 5 by permuting the indices of the elements (taken as 1..5 rather than python-standard 0..4 but still). In the example you are using the entries in the list happen to also be the

Now we are getting somewhere, maybe. I'm thinking of the natural (to me!) right action and you're thinking of the left action got by inverting the permutation and acting in the natural way :-). I guess I just don't think permutation (which are functions) should act on the left. It's

In particular, how does applying (1,2,3)(4,5) to [0,1,2,3,4] result in what you claim, i.e., in [1, 2, 0, 4, 3]? It should either be an error, or maybe: [2,0,1,3,4] if say (1,2,3)(4,5) sends the first entry, i.e., 0th position to the 1st, the 1st to 2nd, etc, That's what is going on --
