15.1.1 interfaces.gap - Interface to the GAP interpreter

SAGE provides an interface to the GAP system. This system provides extensive group theory, combinatorics, etc.

The module interfaces.gap defines the following methods:

gap_reset_workspace( )

Call this when you include any new GAP code into SAGE.

The first time you start GAP from SAGE, it saves the startup state of GAP in the file

data/scripts/gap/empty_workspace

This is useful, since then subsequent startup of GAP is at least 10 times as fast. Unfortunately, if you install any new code for GAP, it won't be noticed, unless you call this function (and restart SAGE).

The module interfaces.gap defines the following classes:

class GAP
