Actually, isympy must depend only on python-sympy. If python3-sympy is
installed and python-sympy is not, then isympy fails, because of this:
$ head -n 1 /usr/bin/isympy
#!/usr/bin/python
One might create a isympy3 package, but this is a different issue from
the one concerning the present bug report.
