Indeed, and since that isn't being fixed, maybe we should warn the user, as suggested here: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/252#comment:7 How about printing a warning when a non-monic or non-integral polynomial is fed to the number field constructor? That saves many people the time needed for debugging "PariError". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
