Comment(by was):
Quick question? What happens if I do:
{{{
sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 + 2)
sage: R.<y> = PolynomialRing(K)
sage: pari(a*y)
}}}
I would find out for myself, but with sage-4.7.2.alpha3, I get 13 hunks
fail, so I can't apply the patch. And I don't know which version of Sage
this patch is against.
If the above fails, isn't this a pretty bad approach to this problem?
Wouldn't it be better to call the variable in PARI something like "__x" or
"_x" (say), which is very very unlikely to class. That would use the
standard Sage/Python convention that one should not use stuff prefixed
with underscores except in programming.
