  • Made the return value of eval() automatically sympified (so things like return 1 will result in Integer(1)).
  • Includes some fixes to 3-argument pow in the code that were necessary after this.
  • Raise an exception if eval is not defined as a @classmethod (common mistake).

Python does not allow overriding 3-arg pow() when the first argument is an int
(see https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__rpow__), so
if the second or thired argument can be a SymPy Integer, we need to make sure
they are converted to int first.
This makes it so that something like

class f(Function):
    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, x):
        return 1

returns Integer(1) instead of int(1).
This makes the following incorrect code fail automatically.

class f(Function):
    def eval(self, x): # Should be a @classmethod
        pass

Hi, I am the SymPy bot (v167). I'm here to help you write a release notes entry. Please read the guide on how to write release notes.

Your release notes are in good order.

Here is what the release notes will look like:

  • core
    • The return values of eval on Function subclasses are now automatically sympified. (#23526 by @asmeurer)

    • Function subclasses now raise an exception if the eval method is not defined as a @classmethod. (#23526 by @asmeurer)

This will be added to https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Release-Notes-for-1.11.

was changed. Do not include the issue number in the title. -->

- Made the return value of `eval()` automatically sympified (so things like `return 1` will result in `Integer(1)`).
- Includes some fixes to 3-argument `pow` in the code that were necessary after this.
- Raise an exception if `eval` is not defined as a `@classmethod` (common mistake).

Benchmark results from GitHub Actions

Lower numbers are good, higher numbers are bad. A ratio less than 1
means a speed up and greater than 1 means a slowdown. Green lines
beginning with + are slowdowns (the PR is slower then master or
master is slower than the previous release). Red lines beginning
with - are speedups.
