See also this open issue for the symbolic package with sympy 1.7: https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/issues/1035
And this for sympy 1.6: https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/issues/1023

Afaict, you need to downgrade to sympy 1.5.1 for current versions of the symbolic package.

Citing cbm in the latter issue:
> For now I think you'll need to downgrade sympy, something like `pip install --user sympy==1.5.1`
