Comment #3 on issue 2277 by asmeu...@gmail.com: integrate(3 + exp(1/x**2), x) doesn't return successful parts.
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2277

This is a bad example, because this actually does have an answer

In [17]: integrate(3 + exp(1/x**2), x)
Out[17]:
   1
   ──
    2
   x              ___    ⎛ⅈ⎞
x⋅ℯ   + 3⋅x + ⅈ⋅╲╱ π ⋅erf⎜─⎟
                         ⎝x⎠

In [18]: integrate(3 + exp(1/x**2), x).diff(x)
Out[18]:
 1
 ──
  2
 x
ℯ   + 3

Anyway, Risch's ability to pull out integrals is rather limited. For example:

In [26]: integrate(3 + x**x, x)
Out[26]:
⌠
⎮ ⎛ x    ⎞
⎮ ⎝x  + 3⎠ dx
⌡

but

In [33]: integrate(exp(x) + 1/log(x), x, risch=True)
Out[33]:
     ⌠
 x   ⎮   1
ℯ  + ⎮ ────── dx
     ⎮ log(x)
     ⌡

Basically, it only works if it happens to compute some part of the integral before it finds the rest to be nonelementary, which is relatively rare (even in this second case, it only happens because it happens to integrate with respect to the exponential before the logarithm).

So there is still a lot of work that can be done here.
