soft question - Indexed tensor manipulation CAS

hello.



I am looking for tensor manipulation software that would allow me:



  • declare indices

  • declare results of contraction (or simplification rules)

  • allow algebraic simplifications and expansion

  • index renaming

So far I have found Maxima to satisfy my requirement more or less, http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_27.html



one last thing I also want, (but not necessarily require), is interface with python.
In principle I could use sage to interface with maxima.



Is there some other Cas that has package with similar tensor
manipulation properties?



from links given below, I also found this, http://cadabra.phi-sci.com/, which looks geared specifically for tensor manipulations.
