Hi,
   
    >>> import sympy as sp
    >>> w, x, y, z = sp.symbols("w x y z")
    >>> sp.factor(w*x + w*y + z)          
    w*x + w*y + z               

I would obviously want w*(x+y) + z

Without the "+ z" part it works as expected:
                                            
    >>> sp.factor(w*x + w*y)                
    w*(x + y)               

I tried several thing, like using deep=True argument, or even hinting by
providing the answer:
                     
    >>> sp.factor(w*x + w*y + z, deep=True)
    w*x + w*y + z                          
    >>> sp.factor(w*(x + y) + z)
    w*x + w*y + z               

Strangely, if I mix both it suddenly works:
                                           
    >>> sp.factor(w*(x + y) + z, deep=True)
    w*(x + y) + z                          

But this obviously doesn't help me.

I considered parsing my expression myself at this point, but I'd really 
love to
avoid doing this...

Regards,
