atoms searches for instances of a class. So when given an instance, it apparently just uses the class of that instance:
In [23]: sin(y).atoms(sin(x)) Out[23]: set([sin(y)]) In [24]: (2**x).atoms(x**2) Out[24]: ⎛⎡ x⎤⎞ set⎝⎣2 ⎦⎠ Since it's unclear what it should do with an instance, this could be considered an acceptable output (assuming it is documented). Otherwise, I'd say it should raise an error in this case.
