I am trying to write a class that inherits from CombinatorialFreeModule. My problem is correctly inheriting from the element class. I have the following code:

from sage.sets.family import Family
from sage.categories.all import GradedAlgebrasWithBasis
from sage.combinat.free_module import CombinatorialFreeModule, CombinatorialFreeModuleElement
from sage.categories.all import tensor

class TestRing(CombinatorialFreeModule):

    def __init__(self, R, G):
        super(TestRing, self).__init__(R, G)

class TestRingElement(CombinatorialFreeModuleElement):

    def __init__(self, M, x):
        super(TestRingElement, self).__init__(self, M, x)
        self.data = x

I can create a TestRing object and get its basis elements as follows:

sage: R = TestRing(QQ, ('a','b'))
sage: a,b = R.basis()

My problem is that a and b have no data attribute. They are not instances of the TestRingElement class:

sage: a.d
a.db     a.dump   a.dumps  
sage: isinstance( a, TestRingElement )
False

I want to be able to add more attributes to the elements of my module. Can someone tell me the correct way to do this?

Incidentally, this code breaks when I call TestRing with a list as its second argument, instead of a tuple. Though, if I create a list inside the constructor (based on input to the constructor) and use that when I call the parent constructor, everything runs fine. Can anyone tell me why the code breaks in the first instance? Or, why does it work in the second instance?

Thanks!
