Comment #1 on issue 2329 by [email protected]: Should Poly use an algebraic domain by default?
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2329

There are reasons for this: algebraic number domains are very slow especially for the case when there are many extensions and algorithms for automatic discovery of extensions aren't very smart.

btw. What you show is not a syntax for specifying extensions, this is:

In [1]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, extension=I)
Out[1]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='QQ<I>')

In [2]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, extension=True)
Out[2]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='QQ<I>')

In [3]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='QQ<I>')
Out[3]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='QQ<I>')

In [4]: _.get_domain().is_Algebraic
Out[4]: True

In [5]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='ZZ[I]')
Out[5]: Poly(t**2 + I, t, domain='ZZ[I]')

In [6]: _.get_domain().is_Algebraic
Out[6]: False

ZZ[I] is a polynomial in I, not an algebraic number field (ZZ<I> will give you an error).
