Hello,

I noticed that passing an invalid mathematical expression causes a
SyntaxError (Python exception). For eg:

>>> parse_expr('2*x*x')

results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/sympy/parsing/sympy_parser.py",
line 164, in parse_expr
    expr = eval(code, global_dict, local_dict) # take local objects in
preference
  File "<string>", line 1
    Integer (2 )*Symbol ('x' )*Symbol ('x' )+Integer (2 )Symbol ('x' )
                                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


I also understand why, since we are basically 'eval' ing:

"Integer (2 )*Symbol ('x' )*Symbol ('x' )+Integer (2 )Symbol ('x' )"

Shouldn't this be raised as a separate exception class from SymPy (on
the lines of class sympy.parsing.sympy_tokenize.TokenError, for
example)?

Best,
Amit.
