#4795: Modular forms over finite fields need work
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  craigcitro     |       Owner:  craigcitro
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  major          |   Milestone:  sage-3.2.2
Component:  modular forms  |    Keywords:            
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The modular forms code hasn't really been tested too much with the base
 ring being a finite field. There was an old file
 `sage/modular/modform/bugs.py` which contained two tests, both of which
 fail.

 First, we have what seems to be an infinite loop:
 {{{
  sage: m = ModularForms(DirichletGroup(8).1,2,GF(7)); m
    Modular Forms space of dimension 2, character [1, -1] and weight 2 over
 Finite Field of size 7
    sage: m.basis()   # this just goes into infinite loop (???)
 }}}

 And now for a `NotImplementedError` -- the following '''should''' work but
 doesn't:
 {{{
    sage: ModularForms(DirichletGroup(13, GF(7)).0^6,3).base_ring()
    Finite Field of size 7
 }}}
