problem with Abelian groups and trivial elements

[ncalexan]

This is a problem:

sage: AbelianGroup(1, [1], names='e')
Trivial Abelian Group
sage: AbelianGroup(1, [1], names='e').list()
[]

The handling of 1's in the list of element orders is a problem:

sage: AbelianGroup(3, [2, 1, 2], names=list('abc')).list()

<type 'exceptions.IndexError'>: the number of names must equal the number of generators

This is the cause of strange things like:

sage: x = ZZ['x'].gen()
sage: K
Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^4 + 4*x^2 + 2
sage: K = NumberField(x^4 + 4*x^2 + 2, 'a')
sage: K.class_group()
Class group of order 1 with structure  of Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^4 + 4*x^2 + 2
