Description (last modified by gh-kliem)

Currently coercion of polyhedra with number fields does not work. The following results in a type error: 

sage: z = QQ['z'].0                                          
sage: K = NumberField(z^2 - 2,'s')
sage: K.gen()*polytopes.simplex(backend='field')

But the backend can surely handle it, as the following does work: 

sage: z = QQ['z'].0                                          
sage: K = NumberField(z^2 - 2,'s')
sage: K.gen()*polytopes.simplex(backend='field', base_ring=K)
A 3-dimensional polyhedron in (Number Field in s with defining polynomial z^2 - 2)^4 defined as the convex hull of 4 vertices

The underlying error: 

sage: z = QQ['z'].0                                          
sage: K = NumberField(z^2 - 2,'s')
sage: parent = polytopes.simplex().parent()
sage: parent._coerce_base_ring(K)
Rational Field

But it should be K.

The problem is that _coerce_base_ring of Polyhedra_base just takes the base ring of K, which are the rationals.

We fix this, by not taking the base ring, if the object is already a ring.
