Hi all, In sage/devel/symbolic/ring.pyx, I find this in the SymbolicRing.__init__: self._populate_coercion_lists_(convert_method_name='_symbolic_') Later on, I find this in SymbolicRing._element_constructor_: elif hasattr(x, '_symbolic_'): return x._symbolic_(self)

The original question about eigenvectors was prompted by the following. Eigenvectors over RDF and CDF are computed by SciPy and returned with their eigenvalues as if each eigenvalue has algebraic and geometric multiplicity 1. Decisions about "equal" eigenvalues are left to the caller. SciPy norm

I would say: over an inexact field like R or C then it is sensible to normalize as Dima suggests (norm 1) rather than making any one nonzero coordinate 1. But over exact fields (e.g. finite fields, number fields) it does make perfect sense to normalise to the first (or last?) nonzero coordinate
