galoistools is the low lever implementation module that is not intended for 
direct use. The user interface is the
same as with other polynomials. To define a polynomial ring  R  with 
generator (or 'unknown')  x  over  GF(2)  you write

R, x = ring('x', GF(2))

Polynomials are then constructed in the usual way: p = x**2 + x , etc. and 
all the standard operations are valid. (Note:  x  is also a polynomial, not 
a Symbol.)
