Dear John,
I haven't written any of the code involved, so I am not absolutely
sure about this, but after looking at the code for a few minutes, I
think the following is the case:
The FractionFieldElement objects have a method factor, but this
takes no arguments other than self. This explains
Further to my earlier post, a search for def factor(self, in the
Sage library reveals that there are a lot of instances where the
factoring method supports various arguments. Thus, at the very least,
I think the fraction field implementation should allow further
arguments, too, and simply forward

I haven't read this thread very carefully, but just from a python
perspective, you probably want something like the following to pass on all
of the arguments.
def factor(self, *args, **kwds)
return
In fact, this is not quite what I wanted. I should have written
def factor(self, *args, **kwds)
return self.numerator().factor(*args, **kwds) / \
self.denominator().factor(*args, **kwds)
In the meantime, while waiting for further comments, I've put this up
as ticket #7868. I'll
Jason, you beat me to it. Thank you for letting me know, though!
