TypeError: 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression' object is not subscriptable

I obtain the error "TypeError: 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression' object is not subscriptable" when using the following script:

var('L, eta, theta, w')
assume(0<L, L<1, 1 <= eta, eta<4,  0 <= theta, theta <= pi/2)
assume(-2<= w, w<= 2)
a = L*(eta-1/eta)^2*sin(theta)^2;
b = -(eta+1/eta)^2 * sin(theta)^2 + 2*eta^2 + 4*sqrt(eta^2-sin(theta)^2)*cos(theta)+2
c = 2*(1-L)*sqrt(eta^2-sin(theta)^2)*cos(theta)*sin(theta)^2;
d = 2*( 1 - cos(theta)^2)^2 -(eta^2+1)*sin(theta)^2 + eta^2
ss = a/b - c/d
solve(ss == w, theta, solution_dict = True, to_poly_solve=True)

And I obtain the following traceback (whatever the values of to_poly_solve and solution_dict are):

If anyone has some input on the matter, it will be greatly appreciated.
