Asking for the echelon form of a matrix over Zmod(16) fails as follows:

sage: a = matrix(Zmod(16), [[1, 1], [1, 1]])
sage: a.echelon_form()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
NotImplementedError: Echelon form not implemented over 'Ring of integers modulo 16'.

Is this error meanwhile remediated?

This error also occurs when trying to calculate eigenspaces_right and or right_kernel of a matrix defined with elements in Zmod(16) or IntegerRing(16).

You could try a._echelon_classical() or a._echelon_in_place_classical(). (Try a._echelon and then hit the TAB key to see some options, not all of which will work.)

There is also a._right_kernel_matrix_over_integer_mod_ring(). I don't see an obvious option for eigenspaces.

Since $16=2^4$, a possible solution is to compute echelon form over 2-adic numbers and then change the ring to Zmod(16) - like this:

a = matrix(Zmod(16), [[1, 1], [1, 1]])
b = a.change_ring(Qp(2)).echelon_form().change_ring(Zmod(16))
