Comment (by burcin):

 You're running into circular imports. Symbolic functions are considerably
 slower compared to the current implementations in `sage/rings/arith.py`.
 Since these are used in many places in the Sage library, it would make
 sense to keep those and introduce symbolic versions in a new file
 (`sage/functions/arith.py` say). Then you need to make sure that the
 functions imported at the Sage command line are the symbolic ones.

 Thanks for looking into this.
