Yes, that's why I suggested you to install python-sympy.
You can also keep python3-sympy installed, if you like (in case you
want to load the sympy module from python3), but isympy is a script
designed to be interpreted by /usr/bin/python, which is Python v2.7.x
and not v3.x ...
I don't know whether there is an elegant way to make isympy
automatically figure out whether you would prefer using python or
python3.

Good, this is an explicit way to express your preference for python3
over python.

Maybe another binary package could be added (named isympy3), including
an appropriate isympy3 script...
At that point isympy would depend on python-sympy (without
python3-sympy as an alternative dependency) and isympy3 would depend on
python3-sympy.
I don't know, I'll let the sympy maintainers think about it and express
their opinion.
Bye.
