The sage.rings.finite_rings.constructor module

[Nathann Cohen]

Hello everybody,

The title of the following module is 'Finite Fields'. Its contains
code related to finite fields.

sage/rings/finite_rings/constructor.py

Is it just me, or is there a noticeable discrepancy between the
filename and the content/title?

Thanks,

Nathann

[Jeroen Demeyer]

I can do better:

src/sage/rings/real_lazy.pyx

contains code for real and *complex* lazy numbers.

Nice. I hope nobody will beat that.

Do you see have any objection to setting things right?

Of course not, but we need to deprecate the old modules.

Yes yes of course.

The 'constructor' file is being renamed to 'finite_field_constructor'
in the following ticket:

probably real_lazy is the author's signature in this case... :-)

I raised some objections on the ticket.

I have also raised some objections on the ticket, which relate less to the content of the ticket than to the tone of the discussion (both on the ticket and on this thread). It is one thing to propose a change to a file name; it is another thing to mock a fellow Sage contributor or to accuse them of laziness. 

This is a public forum, folks, so please try to remain civil and polite.

Perhaps we should  install here a British English plugin, which would have automatically converted my blunt joke into something like

"one might commend truly exquisite sense of humour of a developer putting complex numbers code into a file tellingly named "real_lazy.pyx"...

(The joke doesn't actually work in British English, because we'd always say "X is really lazy" rather than "X is real lazy".)

no, no, the  joke is about real vs complex...
