[with patch, positive review] delete extended rationals and integers completely

From David Roe:

+1 to getting rid of them both. Nobody knows what they are really, and they aren't needed, and they are probably partly broken given the bad coverage (at least of integer).

#2515 should be closed when this is done.

I've removed these files, it only required two minor changes outside of this removal (padic valuation and a coercion test). All doctests in piadics pass.

Hmm, this patch fails to apply:

mabshoff@sage:/scratch/mabshoff/sage-3.4.1.rc3/devel/sage$ hg import 5735-remove-extended-QQ-ZZ.patch 
applying 5735-remove-extended-QQ-ZZ.patch
patching file sage/rings/extended_rational_field.py
Hunk #1 FAILED at 0
1 out of 1 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file sage/rings/extended_rational_field.py.rej
abort: patch failed to apply

It should be trivial to fix since this hunk just deletes extended_rational_field.py.

Cheers,

Michael

trac_5735-remove-extended-QQ-ZZ.patch is the rebased patch which was needed since John Cremona added some code to ExtendedRationalField?. Since that file was completely deleted the rebase was trivial :)

Cheers,

Merged trac_5735-remove-extended-QQ-ZZ.patch in Sage 3.4.1.rc3.

Mhh, a complete rebuild of the Sage library exposes this issue:

Removing those four files from the pickle jar fixes the issue.

For the record: I merged trac_5735-remove-extended-QQ-ZZ.patch and trac_5735-pickle-number-fix.patch and also checked in the changes to pickle_jar.tar.bz2 in data/extcode/pickle_jar/

Cheers,
