Comment(by flawrence):

 Hi Rob,

 This looks good!  Two comments, the second of which is petty:

 * I think the default ring should be `RR` rather than `ZZ`.  I can think
 of lots of uses for a vector of random reals, but not as many for a vector
 of integers.  I'm open to persuasion though!

 * Before doing `degree = ring` it would be good to check that
 `degree==None`.  Otherwise the following slips through without raising an
 error:
 {{{
 sage: random_vector(11,2)
 (0, 1, -3, 2, -9, -1, -1, 0, 1, 1, 1)
 }}}
