Details:

In the symbolic package, version 2.9.0, there is a failing unit test in
inst/@sym/mpower.m when running against SymPy 1.6.1, which is related to
this:


octave:1> pkg load symbolic
octave:2>  syms x
Symbolic pkg v2.9.0: Python communication link active, SymPy v1.6.1.
octave:3>  A = [1 2; 3 4];
octave:4>  B = x^A;
error: Python exception: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ** or
pow(): 'Symbol' and 'MutableDenseMatrix'
    occurred at line 2 of the Python code block:
    return x**y
error: called from
    pycall_sympy__ at line 178 column 7
    mpower at line 76 column 5


The problem seems to come from SymPy itself:


>>> from sympy import *
>>> x = symbols ('x')
>>> x ** Matrix ([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ** or pow(): 'Symbol' and
'MutableDenseMatrix'
