Comment (by llpamies):

 Tanks burcin, do not close the ticket, I think that something needs to be
 fixed.

 If you say that,
 > The comparison operator for polynomial rings is important (think
 monomial orders and Groebner bases), we cannot change it to keep the
 relations symbolic.

 Shouldn't Sage raise an exception when evaluating "a+b+a*b == 1", saying
 something like "Symbolic comparisons are not allowed for polynomial
 rings.", instead of returning False. And besides that, why is
 "solve([False], a)" raising such a incomprehensible "TypeError" exception
 ?

 Thanks,
