You can use the "from *" syntax and still have sum imported as Sum, if you
wish:
In [1]: from sympy import *
In [2]: Sum?
Type: BasicMeta
Base Class: <class 'sympy.core.basic.BasicMeta'>
String Form: <class 'sympy.concrete.summations.Sum'>
Namespace: Interactive
File:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sympy/concrete/summations.py
Docstring:
Represents unevaluated summation.
In [3]: from sympy import sum as Sum
In [4]: Sum?
Type: function
Base Class: <type 'function'>
String Form: <function sum at 0x9368d14>
Namespace: Interactive
File:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sympy/concrete/summations.py
Definition: Sum(*args, **kwargs)
Docstring:
<no docstring>
Also, beware of capitalization, because it is significant. So, the project
name may be SymPy, but the module is sympy.
