Comment(by wuthrich):

 I found another issue with isogenies.

 {{{
 E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
 E2 = EllipticCurve('11a2')
 E2.isogeny(None,codomain=E1,degree=5)
 }}}

 fails with

 {{{
 ValueError: Codomain parameter must be isomorphic to computed codomain
 isogeny
 }}}

 while {{{E.isogeny(None,codomain=E2,degree=5)}}} works fine. The reason is
 that the algorithm for computing the kernel polynomial in
 {{{compute_isogeny_starks}}} is only valid for '''normalised''' isogenies.

 Stark's algorithm is implemented in ell_curve_isogeny.py from scratch and
 so it contains the computation of the formal expansion of the Weierstrass
 p function. I wonder if we should add as another possible algorithm to do
 the same sort of computation, but using the already existing code for
 formal groups instead. ....
