Python 2 and Python 3 use separate installations, so it's likely that
you have different sympy versions installed. You can check which
version is being used with

import sympy
sympy.__version__

I checked and this did indeed used to work in an older version (I
tested 1.1) but doesn't work in the latest version or the git master.
Can you open an issue at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues for
this?
