Indeed it would. I assumed that Ondrej was using sympify, but I guess he isn't. It would be a good idea, though, for exactly this reason. I would also run it through the Mathematica and Maxima parsers in sympy/parsing, which I think will handle things like implied multiplication and inf instead of oo.
