Comment(by zimmerma):

 David, I'm not very satisfied with the change in
 {{{french_book/numbertheory.py}}} done by this patch, for two reasons:

 (1) the previous error message was better. (In the book we wanted to show
 that the isomorphism
     between two instances of GF(3^2^) is not automatic in Sage.)

 (2) this is more serious. We have put this doctest in Sage so that the
 examples of our book (which
     is now published) still work with future versions of Sage. By changing
 the error message you
     did break the examples on http://sagebook.gforge.inria.fr/. Moreover
 you did not even contact
     us to discuss this change.

 For (1) is it possible to revert to the previous error message?

 For (2) in case you want to change some file in the tests directory,
 please first inform the
 corresponding author.

 Paul Zimmermann
