The following input: from sympy import Symbol QQ(1)+Symbol('x')*QQ(2)
produces an error: TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /Applications/sage/<ipython console> in <module>() /Applications/sage/element.pyx in sage.structure.element.ModuleElement.__add__ (sage/structure/element.c: 5606)() /Applications/sage/coerce.pyx in sage.structure.coerce.CoercionModel_cache_maps.bin_op (sage/structure/ coerce.c:6288)() TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for '+': 'Rational Field' and '<class 'sympy.core.mul.Mul'>' If the operands are reversed for either '+' or '*', i.e.: Symbol('x')*QQ(2)+QQ(1) or QQ(1)+QQ(2)*Symbol('x') the statement executes correctly. That's the bug; if anyone knows of a workaround for now I'd like to hear it. My code builds up complicated expressions involving rationals and symbols, and no matter how I reorder things, one of them fails in this manner. I know I can use 'var' instead of 'Symbol', but I need non-commutative symbolic multiplication, which as I understand var does not support.
