#6036: [with patch, needs review] a bug in polynomial() for
PolynomialRing(GF(5),2)

 Reporter:  klee              |       Owner:  Somebody  
     Type:  defect            |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  minor             |   Milestone:  sage-4.0.1
Component:  basic arithmetic  |    Keywords:

Description changed by klee:

Old description:

> The patch 12159.patch modifies the code in remove_from_tuple() in
> sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial.pyx. The patch 12160.patch adds a
> testing example in the docstring.

New description:

 This works:

 {{{
 sage: R.<x,y>=PolynomialRing(QQ,2)
 sage: a=x^2+x*y+y
 sage: a.polynomial(x)
 x^2 + y*x + y

 But this does not work:

 sage: R.<x,y>=PolynomialRing(GF(5),2)
 sage: a=x^2+x*y+y
 sage: a.polynomial(x)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 TypeError: 'tuple' object cannot be interpreted as an index
 }}}

 I traced this bug, and found that

 {{{
 sage: B=QQ[x]
 sage: print B({0:1,1:2})
 2*x + 1
 sage: print B({(0,):1,(1,):2})
 2*x + 1
 sage: B=GF(5)[x]
 sage: print B({0:1,1:2})
 2*x + 1
 sage: print B({(0,):1,(1,):2})
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 TypeError: 'tuple' object cannot be interpreted as an index
 }}}
 I think the second form is not acceptable. Then the function
 remove_from_tuple() in sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial.pyx
 should be revised as it output (1,) from (1,2) for example.
