oh good, an easy workaround. the same trick doesn't seem to work if the base ring is a polynomial ring, that is, replacing it with its fraction field still doesn't work. but your workaround will do for now. thanks. kyle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
