Comment (by ncohen):

 Helloooooooooooooooooooo !

 Several comments:

 - I do not understand why you created a specific function
 `_init_linear_code`
   instead of writing what you need in the `__init__` function. In
 particular the
   names `__init__` and `_init_linear_code` do not indicate how their aims
 are
   different.
   - If you want to change the name of the function, could it mention
 categories
     explicitly? (Or is there a reason not to?)
   - If you decide to remove this function, please move the doctests that
 it
     contains to the `__init__` method.
 - You say in the ticket's description that you add a `base_ring` method
 while
   you implement `base_field`. What is the correct version?
 - I do not understand why you implement this function while saying that it
 is
   'inherited'.
   - If it is inherited, why do you need to implement it?
   - If it is *not* inherited, then shouldn't we fix that instead of
     implementing the function?

 - We usually type '::' at the end of the line. Is there any reason why you
 write
   your code this way?
   {{{
   We now create a member of our newly made class
   ::
   }}}

   Note that writing `our newly made class::` will appear in the HTML as
 `out
   newly made class:` (only one ':'). If you do not want to see this
 terminal ':'
   then a space is sufficient, e.g.: `This sentence ends here. ::`
