> Somewhat related, why should we use Integer(1) and not int(1)? > These create little sympy-landmines if you have to remember which things give ints and which give Integers. e.g. Rational(2,3).q and multiplicity(2,12) are ints so you have to be careful how you use them. If all Integers are stored as ints then the consistency helps; but if sometimes a Rational can be produced then you can't do things like `if i.is_Integer` you have to do `if type(i) is int` or `if isinstance(i, int)`. SymPy can't anticipate what you are going to do with the integer-like properties/return values but it can make your life a little easier by making them consistent.
