Now I understand the issue. Looking at the `__new__` method of `Permutation`:
When the argument is a list of lists (cyclic form), like `Permutation([[0,1],[0,1]])`, the code takes the `is_cycle` path (line around 890-905). Let me trace through:
1. `args = list(args[0])` → `args = [[0, 1], [0, 1]]`
2. `is_cycle = args and is_sequence(args[0])` → `True` (since `[0, 1]` is a sequence)
3. Since `is_cycle` is True:
- `args = [[int(i) for i in c] for c in args]` → same `[[0, 1], [0, 1]]`
4. `temp = flatten(args)` → `[0, 1, 0, 1]`
5. `has_dups(temp)` → `True` (there are repeated elements: 0 appears twice, 1 appears twice)
6. Since `is_cycle` is True:
- `raise ValueError('there were repeated elements; to resolve cycles use Cycle%s.' % ''.join([str(tuple(c)) for c in args]))`
So the issue is that when non-disjoint cycles are provided (i.e., cycles that share elements), the code raises a `ValueError` instead of applying them in left-to-right order and returning the resulting permutation.
The fix should be: instead of raising an error, apply the cycles in left-to-right order using the `Cycle` class (which already handles this), and return the resulting permutation.
Let me look at how this is done for non-repeated elements:
```python
if is_cycle:
# it's not necessarily canonical so we won't store
# it -- use the array form instead
c = Cycle()
for ci in args:
c = c(*ci)
aform = c.list()
```
This already handles non-disjoint cycles properly! So the fix should be to remove the check for duplicates when in cycle form, or rather, to not raise an error but just proceed with the cycle composition.
Wait, but there's also the check `if has_dups(temp)` which also triggers for array form with repeated elements. Let me re-read...
For array form (like `Permutation([0, 1, 0, 1])`), having duplicates is genuinely an error because array form must be a valid permutation - each position maps to a unique value. So we should keep the error for non-cycle form.
For cycle form (like `Permutation([[0, 1], [0, 1]])`), duplicates across cycles should be allowed - they should be applied left-to-right. But duplicates within a single cycle should still be an error (which is handled by the `Cycle` class itself).
Let me fix this. The check is at lines ~890-903:
```python
temp = flatten(args)
if has_dups(temp):
if is_cycle:
raise ValueError('there were repeated elements; to resolve '
'cycles use Cycle%s.' % ''.join([str(tuple(c)) for c in args]))
else:
raise ValueError('there were repeated elements.')
```
The fix: when `is_cycle` is True and there are duplicates, we should NOT raise an error. Instead, we should just skip the duplicate check for cycle form, or rather, just proceed with the cycle composition which already handles non-disjoint cycles.
Actually, let me think more carefully. The check also validates that for array form, all integers 0..max are present:
```python
if not is_cycle and \
any(i not in temp for i in range(len(temp))):
raise ValueError("Integers 0 through %s must be present." %
max(temp))
```
This is only for non-cycle form, which is correct.
So the fix is: when `is_cycle` is True, skip the duplicate check (or just don't raise an error). The cycle composition code below already handles non-disjoint cycles correctly.
Let me also check: in the cycle composition code:
```python
if is_cycle:
# it's not necessarily canonical so we won't store
# it -- use the array form instead
c = Cycle()
for ci in args:
c = c(*ci)
aform = c.list()
```
This should work for `[[0,1],[0,1]]`:
- c = Cycle()
- c = c(0, 1) → Cycle(0, 1) which maps 0→1, 1→0
- c = c(0, 1) → apply (0,1) again, which maps 0→1→0, 1→0→1 → identity
So the result would be identity `[0, 1]`.
Let me implement the fix.
Now I can see the bug. Let me look at the specific lines where the error is raised:
