Comment (by dlucas):

 Hello,

 I changed what you asked, except the integer division in Gao decoder. I
 re-read Gao's paper and it's indeed unclear.
 So I tried the empirical method, and ran some tests.
 In the case `/` this snippet:

 {{{
 sage: C = codes.GeneralizedReedSolomonCode(GF(59).list()[:40], 39)
 sage: D = C.decoder("Gao")
 sage: Chan = channels.StaticErrorRateChannel(C.ambient_space(), 1)
 sage: for i in range(100):
 ....:    c = C.random_element()
 ....:    y = Chan(c)
 ....:    assert c == D.decode_to_code(y)
 }}}

 indeed returns the "too-high degree" weird error...


 But in the case `//`, the same snippet returns an `AssertionError`!
 I'm really stuck here. If anyone has an idea, I'll be glad to hear it.

 David
