Description
William Stein found a bug in p_primary_part, namely
sage: E = EllipticCurve([-19,34]); E.cremona_label() # y^2 = x^3 - 19*x + 34 '944e1' sage: S = E.sha(); S Shafarevich-Tate group for the Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 - 19*x + 34 over Rational Field sage: E.ap(5) -3 sage: factor(944) 2^4 * 59 sage: S.an_padic(5) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: can not twist a curve of conductor (=472) by the quadratic twist (=-4).
The problem is at 2 and 3, we have to check if we are allowed to twist.
And John Cremona suggested
Is it possible to add a doctest illustrating the suggestion to "try an_padic instead"? That would be useful for the reference manual.
