Mix-in Class for libGAP-based Groups¶
This class adds access to GAP functionality to groups such that parent
and element have a gap()
method that returns a libGAP object for
the parent/element.
If your group implementation uses libgap, then you should add
GroupMixinLibGAP
as the first class that you are deriving
from. This ensures that it properly overrides any default methods that
just raise NotImplementedError
.
