Comment #1 on issue 2456 by [email protected]: bug in polytools.groebner
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2456

The last part, i.e. "domain.has_Field = True" in this example is not True, because the initial coefficient domain is integer ring (it doesn't matter that Groebner bases are computed over a field). If you want the resulting basis to be over a field, tell groebner() precisely what you want to achieve, e.g.:

In [1]: F = [x*y - 2*y, 2*y**2 - x**2]

In [2]: groebner(F, order='grevlex')
Out[2]:
⎡ 3      2     2      2           ⎤
⎣x  - 2⋅x , - x  + 2⋅y , x⋅y - 2⋅y⎦

In [3]: groebner(F, order='grevlex', field=True)
Out[3]:
⎡              2                ⎤
⎢ 3      2    x     2           ⎥
⎢x  - 2⋅x , - ── + y , x⋅y - 2⋅y⎥
⎣             2                 ⎦

All functions in sympy.polys always find a minimal coefficient domain for input polynomials, if needed, extend it to perform computations and retract it to the original domain if possible. In the case of groebner() the simples what to specify what you want is to set field=True. You can also say domain=QQ, but this will make your code useless for composite domains, finite fields, etc.

btw. When you submit a bug report, use a minimal example that reproduces a problem (unless a minimal example is that big). That saves time and makes it possible to reply with the same example, not with a shorter, but unrelated one. Also please explain why something should or should not be done ("should be normalized to 1").
