Comment (by andrew.mathas):

 Thanks for your review. I agree with all of your suggestions except for
 changing the return statement when n<0 to:
 {{{
 return -p**n * sum([p**i for i in range(-n)])
 }}}
 because multiplying polynomials tends to be expensive. Perhaps you thought
 the previous use of `range(-1,n-1,-1))` wasn't very nice? If so this could
 be replaced by
 {{{
 return sum([-p**(n+i) for i in range(-n)])
 }}}

 I am also not very experienced as to what happens next i the review
 process... Because this patch is so short I am tempted to just incorporate
 your changes and post a new version.
