I have a big prime, more specifically this:

And, when I try to create a finite field with it, using Fp = GF(p), where p is the above prime, it doesn't finish executing in Sage Notebook. Any ideas what the problem might be and how to overcome it?

GF( p, proof=False ) works for me.

Thanks, proof=False solved the problem.

Indeed, same primality check problem as in https://ask.sagemath.org/question/39530

Yes, the hint came from the 39530, there i printed the number and resigned... Here, as i saw the number...

@whatever note that you can turn primality checking into pseudo-primality checking globally with the following command

sage: proof.arithmetic(False)
sage: my_big_prime.is_prime()     # now pseudo-primality
sage: GF(my_big_prime)            # idem

@vdelecroix thanks for the shortcut!
