I created an AddUnsort class that doesn't change the order of its argument. Now, I discovered I get an infinite recursion when I evalf. But, I'm having trouble figuring out how to prevent this infinite recursion.
The still get the infinite recursion even with this stripped down class that does very little to Add. The only change is that it doesn't evaluate the arguments (it acts as long evaluate=False) and it doesn't order the arguments. from sympy import Add from sympy.core.cache import cacheit from sympy.core.sympify import _sympify class AddUnsortPart(Add): @cacheit def __new__(cls, *args, **options): # __new__ from AssocOp, with differences # - we don't throw out the identity # - we never evaluate args = list(map(_sympify, args)) if len(args) == 0: return cls.identity if len(args) == 1: return args[0] return cls._from_args(args) But, executing, for example, AddUnsortPart(2,5).evalf() gets an infinite loop between the _eval_evalf() function of AssocOp and ._evalf() of EvalfMixin. I'm obviously missing something here, as I don't see why one usually doesn't get this infinite loop, so what I should do to prevent this problem. Any pointers would be helpful. The above stripped down class hardly modifies Add at all, so it's puzzling why this change creates the problem. (Of course, in the real class, I'm making a lot more changes to make it useful AddUnsort class.)
