Comment(by pernici):

 I get some strange behaviour; I want to use the reduce method for a
 polynomial extracted from a multivariate series

 {{{
 sage: S.<x,y> = QQ[[]]
 sage: p = (1+x+y)^3
 sage: pp = p.polynomial()
 sage: R = S._poly_ring()
 sage: xv = R.gens()
 sage: pp.reduce([xv[0]^2,xv[1]^2])
 1
 }}}

 while the expected behavior is as working directly with polynomials
 {{{
 sage: R.<x,y> = QQ[]
 sage: p = (1+x+y)^3
 sage: p.reduce([x^2,y^2])
 6*x*y + 3*x + 3*y + 1
 }}}

 After some trials I got the expected result by creating a new ring
 and casting the polynomial with it.
 {{{
 sage: S.<x,y> = QQ[[]]
 sage: p = (1+x+y)^3
 sage: pp = p.polynomial()
 sage: R = PolynomialRing(QQ,S.variable_names())
 sage: xv = R.gens()
 sage: pp = R(pp)
 sage: pp.reduce([xv[0]^2,xv[1]^2])
 6*x*y + 3*x + 3*y + 1
 }}}

 This is unsatisfactory because it should not be necessary to introduce
 a new MPolynomial_libsingular ring, and cast the polynomial.

 Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?
