Comment (by cremona):

 Replying to [comment:8 wuthrich]:
 > Strictly speaking there is still something to do. It checks if E and p
 are equal. In a perfect implementation this should be an elliptic curve
 over a local field and we should check if they are isomorphic over this
 field, not over Q.

 When we have a type to hold elliptic curves over local fields then this
 can perhaps be changed.  I also did not bother to compare the (possibly)
 cached power series which are part of the class's data.  As I see it, this
 _cmp_ function is only there for technical Pythonic reasons, and serious
 mathematical functionality would not be implemented via the == operator.


 > But I agree that the patch fixes this by now and the ticket should be
 closed.

 Good!  Thanks.
