Hello,

the lines below would suggest that Jacobi identity for vector fields [1] is 
violated in diffeom moodule: am I missing something fundamental?

Python console for SymPy 1.4 (Python 2.7.12)

These commands were executed:

from sympy import *
x, y, z, t = symbols('x y z t')
k, m, n = symbols('k m n', integer=True)
f, g, h = symbols('f g h', cls=Function)

Warning: this shell runs with SymPy 1.4 and so examples pulled from
other documentation may provide unexpected results.
