When building sympy-0.6.2 with python-2.6, one finds syntax errors due to variables clashing with the new restricted "as" statement: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/sympy-0.6.2/work/sympy-0.6.2 ...

This is a problem for the upstream developers. I hope they will fix it in the next version.
