This code is supposed to be (if some one does the work in the future) located in sage.tensor.differential_form_element.
The code presented below is a slight modification of Joris code for differential forms manipulation on SAGE.
Needed modules
from sage.symbolic.ring import SymbolicRing, SR
from sage.rings.ring_element import RingElement
from sage.algebras.algebra_element import AlgebraElement
from sage.rings.integer import Integer
from sage.combinat.permutation import Permutation
The advantage of using this is that, tensors defined here are an Algebra element, not just a python object as in the previous code.
The sage.combinat.permutation won’t be used (yet), but could be useful if tensor symmetries are defined.
TensorFormatter

The only I’ve changed here is “DifferentialForm” by “Tensor” and “\wedge” by “\otimes”
The above code allows to write the tensor product in a basis, 
. The chosen symbol for denoting the tensor product was @.
Tensor Class
This code is incomplete due to:
I’ve not defined the TensorsAlgebra, which should be done in parallel.
There are a lot of attributes not presented in this class.

Ok, so again I’ve changed “DifferentialForm(s)” by “Tensor(s)”, drop the permutation of indices (’cause tensors do not need to be neither symmetric nor anti-symmetric.
I’ll keep working with this code… It’s all by now. Oh! I’ll post next week the rest of the code based in Sergey’s GRPy.
Enjoy.
