Comment #8 on issue 1158 by Vinzent.Steinberg: regression: roots of polys
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1158

Is this fixed?

>>> p = x**4 - 6*x**3 - 21*x**2 + 118*x + 216
>>> roots(p,x,quartics=True)

(A test should be written, if not already done.)

In my opinion, quartic and cubic should be set True by default. Sympy is a  
library
and not mainly interactive. And Axiom for instance prints such things  
without asking.
