Thanks for your help, Carl. Where did you find the documentation for the command number_field_elements_from_algebraics(c)? Yes, i'd find it very useful to have ideal and variety computations over QQbar implemented. I don't have the know-how or the time at present to do this myself, but i am learning more about Sage every day and my next job might support this endeavor more than my present one. So perhaps in the future i can work on this.
