Comment(by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:34 cremona]:
 > The new patch applies fine to 4.3.1, and *almost* all tests pass.  (I
 tested the whole Sage library):

 As I explained above, the "unique key" in the ring constructor has
 completely changed: It used to be a base ring plus the list of variable
 names plus a descriptor of the monomial order and of the implementation
 (dense vs. sparse); now, it is a ring plus a construction functor. I guess
 this explains the error.

 But there is a version number passed to the construction factory, in
 addition to the unique key. Probably that allows to transform old pickles
 into shiny new rings.

 I did not know that there existed old pickles. Thank you for pointing it
 out!

 Best regards,

 Simon
