Comment (by dlucas):

 Hello,

 It seems that your changes actually broke something...

 If you look in `src/doc/en/thematic_tutorials.coding_theory.rst` lines
 614-619, you'll see that the following input:


 {{{
 sage: F.<a> = GF(3^2,"a")
 sage: pts = [0,1,a,a^2,2*a,2*a+1]
 sage: C = codes.GeneralizedReedSolomonCode(pts, 4)
 }}}

 is not accepted anymore.

 Furthermore, the following:

 {{{
 sage: F.<a> = GF(3^2,"a")
 sage: C = codes.GeneralizedReedSolomonCode(F.list()[:6], 4)
 }}}

 is accepted but `sage: C` returns `[6, 4, 3] Generalized Reed-Solomon Code
 over Finite Field of size 3` and the ''over Finite Field of size 3'' looks
 weird to me.

 David
