I assume that you're responding to me (even though your post is a
reply to yourself).

Robert Kern already answered this question earlier in the thread:

$ isympy
IPython console for SymPy 0.7.5 (Python 2.7.9-64-bit) (ground types: gmpy)

These commands were executed:
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> from sympy import *
>>> x, y, z, t = symbols('x y z t')
>>> k, m, n = symbols('k m n', integer=True)
>>> f, g, h = symbols('f g h', cls=Function)

Documentation can be found at http://www.sympy.org

In [1]: f = lambdify(x, sin(x).diff(x))

In [2]: f
Out[2]: <function numpy.<lambda>>

In [3]: f(1)
Out[3]: 0.540302305868


We can pull apart this function f returned here:

In [4]: import dis

In [5]: dis.dis(f)
  1           0 LOAD_GLOBAL              0 (cos)
              3 LOAD_FAST                0 (x)
              6 CALL_FUNCTION            1
              9 RETURN_VALUE

In [6]: f.func_globals['cos']
Out[6]: <function math.cos>

So the function f returned by lambdify uses math.cos which is the
64-bit float function I mentioned earlier (i.e. the faster one). You
can pass an int in and it will be coerced to float. You should find
that the performance of f is as good as lambda x: math.cos(x).

So lambdify takes an expression and a sequence of symbols and
generates a function whose arguments are substituted for the sequence
of symbols. The return value of the function is the result of
substituting the arguments for the symbols in the expression. I think
this is what you asked for.
