DirectProduct
(*groups)[source]¶ Returns the direct product of several groups as a permutation group.
This is implemented much like the __mul__ procedure for taking the direct product of two permutation groups, but the idea of shifting the generators is realized in the case of an arbitrary number of groups. A call to DirectProduct(G1, G2, ..., Gn) is generally expected to be faster than a call to G1*G2*...*Gn (and thus the need for this algorithm).
