the normalization is not a problem. Dear Suominen, than you for the try, but this was not the point.
Sympy uses the unitary, ordinary-frequency inverse Fourier transform and there should be not 1/2pi. The problem is much deeper; that final result (without the normalization) is different from the theoretical result when the assumption Re[lambda]>0 or Re[lambda]<0 and t>0 or t<0 are used. Hope for help.
