@Tim, This link http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/manipulation.html says that SymPy's Integer class is similar to python's built-in int type. It just plays well with other sympy classes. Gmpy is currently not supported on google app engine so I presume it will have issues working with sympy live. Plus the point is creating something that is native to sympy rather than using other libraries, both because sympy already has a class for various data types and people use sympy a lot for calculations.
