Hi Bjarke, If I understand your goal, this could be a typical use case of generic category testing. Whenever you have a monoid M and you run: sage: TestSuite(M).run() the associativity of M is tested (by M._test_associativity()). We do not yet have a PolynomialRings category,

Primarily what I'm wondering is if there is already a good way to do this, since I'm not volunteering to implement it if there isn't. Still, I don't suppose it hurts to mention what I would like. For polynomial rings, it would be a function along the lines of makeSomeRing(predicate) where
