Comment (by vbraun):

 That is of course not the same Newton polygon as
 {{{
 sage: R.<x,y> = QQ[]
 sage: (1+x+y).newton_polytope()
 A 2-dimensional polyhedron in ZZ^2 defined as the convex hull of 3
 vertices
 }}}
 There might be a better place that does not require another global name,
 maybe as method of local fields? At the very least the `NewtonPolygon`
 docstring should make an effort to disambiguate.

 A less scary way than `_normalize()` to compute the hull is to use some of
 Sage's existing polyhedral computation facilities:
 {{{
 sage: hull = Polyhedron([(0,0), (1,1), (2,-1), (3,0)], rays=[(0,1)])
 sage: hull.vertices()
 (A vertex at (0, 0), A vertex at (3, 0), A vertex at (2, -1))
 }}}

 Docstrings frequently need `INPUT` / `OUTPUT`, see the sage developer
 manual

 PEP 8 spacing, e.g.
 {{{
     def __le__(self,other):    # no
     def __le__(self, other):   # yes
 }}}


 * `ParentNewtonPolygon.__repr__` should be `_repr_`
 * `NewtonPolygon_lastslope._repr_` docstring has unused import
