Computing degree bound GBs with Magma is broken

[malb]

This should work:

sage: R.<a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j> = PolynomialRing(GF(127),10)
sage: I = sage.rings.ideal.Cyclic(R,6)
sage: gb = I.groebner_basis('magma:GroebnerBasis', deg_bound=4)

The culprit is that PolynomialSequence casts to an ideal in Magma, but we need a sequence.

anyone up for reviewing it?

[malb]

ping? It's a quite simple patch

I get a different ouput for gb, so the doctest fails for me at len(gb)

 sage: R.<a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j> = PolynomialRing(GF(127),10)
 sage: I = sage.rings.ideal.Cyclic(R,6)
 sage: gb = I.groebner_basis('magma:GroebnerBasis', deg_bound=4)
 sage: len(gb) # optional - magma
 7 # doctest expects 5

Singular tells me 7, too (but we should not rely on that)

So why in your output len(gb) =5 ? I have access to a dated magma version 2.17-8.

Here is the gb output I get:

I checked with my Magma install and indeed 5 was wrong. It also returns 7. I've fixed the doctest.
