New issue 3588 by [email protected]: _kern in simpify() has side effects
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3588

Using _kern in sympify have at least one downside : classes or functions which expect numbers will fail.

Actually I noticed this in custom classes, and I spent quite a lot of time figuring out what was going wrong.

Here is a kind of minimal example with pure sympy code :

sympify('Interval(-1,-2 - 4*(-3))')
ValueError: Only real intervals are supported

The trouble is, _kern is used in evaluated code, so Interval is initialized with expressions which are not numbers.
