I was wondering if anybody knows of any code available to perform tensor analysis in Python or in other language; I was wondering if there is any computational method for finding constraints in a lagrangian via the Dirac Algorithm.

Mathematica could help.
Are referring to the "Dirac theory of constraints" ?
 
Exactly. Dirac's Theory of Constraints. Any specifics though? (Packages, &c...)
