Comment (by mstreng):

 But wait, Sage does have weighted projective spaces. There is even a
 genuine hyperelliptic curve in the documentation!
 {{{
       sage: X = toric_varieties.WP([1,3,1], names='x y z')
       sage: X.inject_variables()
       Defining x, y, z
       sage: g = y^2-(x^6-z^6)
       sage: C = X.subscheme([g]); C
       Closed subscheme of 2-d toric variety covered by 3 affine patches
 defined by:
         -x^6 + z^6 + y^2
 }}}
 WP stands for "weighted projective space". The three affine patches are
 more than we need for hyperelliptic curves, so I wonder whether working
 with points is efficient for such a hyperelliptic curve.
