Comment (by tfeulner):

 Replying to [comment:8 ppurka]:
 > I am curious - maybe I am missing something here. Why is a vector which
 has the first nonzero element as 2 appearing in the projective point list?
 Isn't it the "norm" to have the first nonzero element in the vector be 1?

 Maybe I should have been more precise in the description of this class.
 For me, a point is just a one-dimensional subspace. The iterator should
 just return one basis vector for each one-dimensional subspace.

 In fact, the way we construct these representatives can be seen as a
 multiplication by a vector w from the left. The last nonzero coordinate of
 w is equal to 1. I am not sure about the "norm" for projective points.

 I will modifiy the description of this class. The problem could be solved
 by
 echelonizing the basis during the init method (I will only provide an
 optional argument for those who do care).
