Thank you for you answer Robert
Just the alternative to fetch_int I needed.
The problem was that if you try to use fetch_int on a field of larger
size than GF(5^5) e.g. GF(3^42), then SAGE will switch to PARI finite
field objects and then the fetch_int will not work. But you small
alternative sum

I'm not seeing which fetch_int you're referring
