python - How to simplify logarithm of exponent in sympy?

When I type

import sympy as sp
x = sp.Symbol('x')
sp.simplify(sp.log(sp.exp(x)))

I obtain

log(e^x)

Instead of x. I know that "there are no guarantees" on this function.

Question. Is there some specific simplification (through series expansion or whatsoever) to convert logarithm of exponent into identity function?

You have to set x to real type and your code will work:

import sympy as sp
x = sp.Symbol('x', real=True)
print(sp.simplify(sp.log(sp.exp(x))))

Output: x.

For complex x result of this formula is not always is equal to x. Example is here.
