Issue 1169: unify symbols and var
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1169

Comment #14 by ondrej.certik:
Sure. Apply this patch:

$ git di
diff --git a/sympy/core/symbol.py b/sympy/core/symbol.py
index 5e3f134..1e2e266 100644

     try:
         kwargs['single_character_names'] = False
         s = symbols(*names, **kwargs)
         import pdb
         pdb.set_trace()
         if s is None:

265             else:
266                 s_list = s
(Pdb) p s
x
(Pdb) p names
('x', 'y')
(Pdb) p kwargs
{'real': True, 'single_character_names': False}
(Pdb)


and I hope it's clear now --- the other branch in symbols() gets executed  
with
single_character_names() and that doesn't handle the symbols("x", "y")  
syntax.

Do you think you could also please write regular tests for symbols()?  I  
didn't find
any. If something is still not clear, feel free to ask.
