    def points(self, **kwds):
        r"""
        Return some or all rational points of an affine scheme.

        For dimension 0 subschemes points are determined through a groebner
        basis calculation. For schemes or subschemes with dimension greater than 1
        points are determined through enumeration up to the specified bound.

        Over a finite field, all points are returned. Over an infinite field, all points satisfying the bound
        are returned. For a zero-dimensional subscheme, all points are returned regardless of whether the field
        is infinite or not.

        For number fields, this uses the
        Doyle-Krumm algorithm 4 (algorithm 5 for imaginary quadratic) for
        computing algebraic numbers up to a given height [Doyle-Krumm]_.

        The algorithm requires floating point arithmetic, so the user is
        allowed to specify the precision for such calculations.
        Additionally, due to floating point issues, points
        slightly larger than the bound may be returned. This can be controlled
        by lowering the tolerance.


        INPUT:

        kwds:

        - ``bound`` - real number (optional, default: 0). The bound for the
          height of the coordinates. Only used for subschemes with
          dimension at least 1.

        - ``zero_tolerance`` - positive real number (optional, default=10^(-10)).
          For numerically inexact fields, points are on the subscheme if they
          satisfy the equations to within tolerance.

        - ``tolerance`` - a rational number in (0,1] used in doyle-krumm algorithm-4
          for enumeration over number fields.

        - ``precision`` - the precision to use for computing the elements of
          bounded height of number fields.

        OUTPUT:

        - a list of rational points of a affine scheme

        .. WARNING::

           For numerically inexact fields such as ComplexField or RealField the
           list of points returned is very likely to be incomplete. It may also
           contain repeated points due to tolerance.

        For number fields, this uses the
        Doyle-Krumm algorithm 4 (algorithm 5 for imaginary quadratic) for
        computing algebraic numbers up to a given height [Doyle-Krumm]_.

        The algorithm requires floating point arithmetic, so the user is
        allowed to specify the precision for such calculations.
        Additionally, due to floating point issues, points
        slightly larger than the bound may be returned. This can be controlled
        by lowering the tolerance.

        INPUT:

        - ``bound`` - a real number

        - ``tolerance`` - a rational number in (0,1] used in doyle-krumm algorithm-4

        - ``precision`` - the precision to use for computing the elements of bounded height of number fields.

        OUTPUT:

        - a list of rational points of a affine scheme
