#27019 new defect
BooleanMonomial 1 is not equal to Integer(1)

Description
Demonstration:
sage: P.<x> = BooleanPolynomialRing() sage: list(P(1)) [1] sage: list(P(1))[0] 1 sage: list(P(1))[0] == 1 False sage: type(list(P(1))[0]) <type 'sage.rings.polynomial.pbori.BooleanMonomial'>
Note that this behavior is inconsistent with the behavior for polynomial rings over finite fields:
sage: R.<y> = PolynomialRing(GF(2)) sage: list(R(1))[0] == 1 True
In the context of converting polynomials to lists, this has understandably caused confusion for at least one user on Ask SageMath.

- Milestone changed from sage-8.6 to sage-8.7
Retarging tickets optimistically to the next milestone. If you are responsible for this ticket (either its reporter or owner) and don't believe you are likely to complete this ticket before the next release (8.7) please retarget this ticket's milestone to sage-pending or sage-wishlist.

- Milestone changed from sage-8.7 to sage-8.8
Ticket retargeted after milestone closed (if you don't believe this ticket is appropriate for the Sage 8.8 release please retarget manually)
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by
- Milestone sage-8.8 deleted
As the Sage-8.8 release milestone is pending, we should delete the sage-8.8 milestone for tickets that are not actively being worked on or that still require significant work to move forward. If you feel that this ticket should be included in the next Sage release at the soonest please set its milestone to the next release milestone (sage-8.9).
Part of the problem is that
BooleanMonomialMonoid
is a monoid and not a ring.So there cannot be a coercion from
ZZ
to theBooleanMonomialMonoid
. There could be a coercion to the common parentP
but that requires a pushout construction...
