It looks like a version mismatch between sympy and libmp. I am new to both, so I am not sure what is the compatibility matrix (is sympy lagging behind libmp or the other way around). I found a way to fix it by patching sympy (see attached diff -c from the sympy lib directory /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sympy Also, isympy prefers ipython; it is not a hard dependency because it falls back to using plain python interpreter, but perhaps the ipython package should be a dependency of sympy.
Created attachment 422933 [details] sympy patch to be applied in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sympy
The patch provided isn't production quality; I removed the include MP_BASE because it doesn't seem to be defined in the provided libmp version, but sympy uses it, for instance when calculating integrate(exp(-x**2), (x, -oo, oo)).
fredrik.johansson commented on the sympy discussion blog http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1954 This was fixed three months ago (this was the main patch: http://git.sympy.org/?p=sympy.git;a=commit;h=5faaa3ce262f83a4c4e9729c8bb12aa4e3e8c172) I suggest updating SymPy in Fedora to 0.6.7? As for why the Fedora SymPy doesn't use SymPy's internal copy of mpmath to avoid this problem... I'm dubious about that. Indeed, it looks like Fedora sympy should be updated
Someone already tried to bump Sympy to 0.6.7 but didn't go through and fix the patch to remove the built-in mpmath (e.g. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=148686 ). Currently, I don't have the time to fix the patch, and I'm not really interested in SymPy anymore.

Rebuilding the srpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=187322 fixes that problem for me on F-13. I am behind a (stupid) proxy so I can build the package in bodhi but it would be nice if someone could do it.
Przemek: please try the scratch build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2435934 to see if it fixes your problem. direct link to rpm is http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2435936&name=sympy-0.6.7-4.fc12.noarch.rpm
Package: sympy-0.6.6-3.fc13 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 13 (Goddard) How to reproduce ----- 1.lunch isympy from terminal 2. 3. Comment ----- lunch isympy ( also importing sympy in python cause a similar crash)
The spec file in the Fedora 14 branch for 0.6.7 builds fine against Fedora 13 and seems to work in limited testing. There is one unexpected test failure when the build runs the test suite out of 1476 tests - don't have the experience to know if it's serious or not, but it's certainly much better than complete non-workingness, which is the current state of Fedora 13! Does this just need someone to copy the changes to the Fedora 13 branch, build, and file an update request? I can do that if that if there's nobody else paying attention, though I don't want to pick up the package long term.
The failed test is just a whitespace test. I'll file the update now.
