I've just been taking a look at reviewing patch #8332, which is part of a massive series of patches by David Roe that completely overhauls finite rings and fields.
It's failing doctests for an entirely silly reason: someone has added a doctest to sage/structure/parent.pyx to check that some helper function (sage.structure.parent.dir_with_other_class) works with parent objects that don't have a __dict__ attribute. The doctest uses GF(9,'a') as an example, and since David's patch means this does now have a __dict__, the doctest fails. I'd like to change this to use some other example so we can get the patch in; but I haven't been able to find any other examples in Sage of parent objects that don't have a __dict__, so I don't know what to change the doctest to! Any suggestions? If nobody can think of an example of such a thing, we can just delete the offending doctest.
