]3;4] is the french standard notation of (3,4]. I could add an optional 
argument lang. The choice lang='fr' will write ]3;4] and other value of 
lang will write (3,4].

Sorry for my english but I try to do my best. Ok for changing of the 
error that must be raised.


>>>    def __str__(self):
>>>        if self.min == self.max:
>>>            if self.endpoints == 'cc':
>>>                return '{' + str(self.min) + '}'

Here we have an interval like [3,3] which is equal to {3}. No ?

Is sympy is able to work with inequalities like 3<oo ?
