#4822: Tweak to the error message for EllipticCurve
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: ljpk | Owner: was
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: sage-3.2.2
Component: number theory | Keywords:
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
I was using SAGE with the small version of the CremonaDatabase, and tried
the following, which does not work because the conductor is too high:
{{{
EllipticCurve("10001a1")
}}}
I think it would be useful if the error message not only said "this curve
is not in the database" (which is indeed true) but also checked to see if
one was using the small database of curves, and if so told the user how to
access the larger version
using the incantation
{{{
!sage -i database_cremona_ellcurve-2005.11.03
}}}
or otherwise.
