Hi,

I want to do linear algebra over a valuation ring (infinite) R of rational 
function field. As R is a PID, I expected the Sage machinery over general 
PID works fine for it. But it does not. The problem is, as I understand it, 
that internally Sage assumes an ambient vector space over Frac(R)=k(x) for 
its algorithms. Thus for example, f=1/x in Frac(R) has numerator and 
denominator in k[x], rather than R. This kind of things break the machinery 
for R.

I think for general PIDs at least, Sage should not assume the ambient 
vector space over the fraction field, as this effectively limits possible 
PIDs to ZZ for QQ, to k[x] for k(x)...

Do I just misunderstand something? Or is this a genuine limitation of Sage?

Thank you for reading.
