Comment:

 Patch seems to work as advertised.

 I think you should add an error message though: I prefer
 {{{
 ZeroDivisionError: fraction field element division by zero
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 ZeroDivisionError: division by zero in finite field
 }}}
 or even
 {{{
 ZeroDivisionError: division by zero in Finite Field in a of size 5^2
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 ZeroDivisionError
 }}}
