sympy: How to get zero for absent constant term

Question

On SymPy 0.7.5 (Python 2.7.8-64-bit). I'm unable to get the constant term from an expression when the constant term is zero or absent (an absent constant is the same of a zero constant, right?).

I can get the constant term from an expression with expr.coeff(x, 0). E.g.:

isympy ## Load sympy etc...

(x + 3).coeff(x, 0)        #-> 3 ok
(x).coeff(x, 0)            #-> 0 ok
(4*x**2 + 3*x).coeff(x, 0) #-> 0 ok

Now, how can I get 0 in these cases?

(4*x).coeff(x, 0)     #-> 4 
(4*x**2).coeff(x, 0)  #-> 4 why not 0?!

I'm sure this has been asked & documented before but I can't find the answer at least without some awkward workaround. Thanks Dario

Solution: Upgrade to sympy 0.7.6. Unless I was doing something silly it appears this was a bug 0.7.5.
