Comment (by jpflori):
There is also a problem with the docstring for ffinit which mentions a
polynomial P.
And the doc avout the v variable is kind of obscure.
In the docstring for get_var it's mentioned it should be a string or -1.
Here it seems you suggest it can be an integer.
Indeed, the PARI ffinit functions wants a long and will treat negative
input in a special way, but the point of the call to get_var is to convert
the var's string to the correct integer.
So either skip the get_var call or correcte the docstring.
I think the second option is better, and is what you wanted, isn't it?
