Status: Accepted Owner: smichr Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 1777 by smichr: powsimp modifications http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1777
>>> from sympy import * >>> var('x y z') (x, y, z) Unless the x is a literal, it would be nice to have the 2 on the outside of this expression: >>> powsimp(x**(2*y)) (x**2)**y <== could be (x**y)**2 so "x**y" could be identified as a base or an extractable piece by extract_multiplicatively. Bases should not combine unless the exponents are integers or the bases are positive >>> powsimp(x**y*z**y) (x*z)**y -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
