Comment:

 You have to import "Integer" somewhere in the code:

 {{{
 sage: a=int(3)
 sage: valuation(a,2)
 ...
 --> 695         m=Integer(m)
 ...
 NameError: global name 'Integer' is not defined
 }}}

 Add a doctest that uses an 'int' as argument to check that the previous
 code will work.

 In the documentation, it says that valuation os zero is +Infinity but
 valuation with respect to zero is an error. However:

 {{{
 sage: valuation(0,0)
 +Infinity
 sage: K=QQ['x']
 sage: x=K.gen()
 sage: valuation(x,K(0))
 ...
 PariError
 sage: valuation(K(0),K(0))
 +Infinity
 }}}
