Comment:

 1. In the docstring of `DirichletGroup_class`, could you replace
 {{{
 Group of Dirichlet characters modulo `N` over a ring `R`.
 }}}
 by
 {{{
 Group of Dirichlet characters modulo `N` with values in a ring `R`.
 }}}
 (or something similar)

 2. In the check
 {{{
 if isinstance(x, (int, rings.Integer)) and x == 1:
 }}}
 I think it is better to remove `isinstance(x, (int, rings.Integer))` and
 allow any kind of `1` (but then you will probably need to add a
 `try`/`except` in case that `x == 1` fails).
