Description
It would be nice if this worked rather than returning an error:
sage: F.<t> = LaurentPolynomialRing(GF(2)) sage: t // t --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/kedlaya/.sage/temp/kedlaya_laptop/18179/_home_kedlaya__sage_init_sage_0.py in <module>() TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for //: 'sage.rings.polynomial.laurent_polynomial.LaurentPolynomial_mpair' and 'sage.rings.polynomial.laurent_polynomial.LaurentPolynomial_mpair'
As it stands, I don't think univariate Laurent polynomial rings over a field support any division operation that stays within the ring:
sage: (t/t).parent() Fraction Field of Univariate Laurent Polynomial Ring in t over Finite Field of size 2
except maybe if I access the internal representation (as a quotient ring) and implement it by hand.
