Comment(by mstreng):

 Great, I could use this.

 While you are still at it, I have a small wish list as well. Could you

  * Let the generalized even Hilbert symbol accept fractions (as the odd
 one and the QQ one do)?
    {{{
 sage: hilbert_symbol(1/3, 1, 2)
 1
 sage: K.<i> = QuadraticField(-1)
 sage: O = K.maximal_order()
 sage: generalized_hilbert_symbol(K(1/2), K(1), 3*O)
 1
 sage: generalized_hilbert_symbol(K(1/3), K(1), (1+i)*O)
 NotImplementedError: inverse_mod is not implemented for non-integral
 elements
    }}}

  * Also add the Hilbert symbol for infinite places? See e.g.
    {{{
 sage: hilbert_symbol(-1, -1, -1)
 -1
    }}}
    This is almost trivial compared to what you've already done. I have
 code, contact me if you have questions.

  * Correct the doc text. The doc of generalized_even_hilbert_symbol should
 say that P must divide 2, while generalized_hilbert_symbol should not say
 that P must be odd
