Hello *,
I've just committed sympy-0.6.2.ebuild to the science overlay. It differs
from the ebuild in sunrise: it builds and installs docs with USE=doc. I
intended it to use external mpmath and pyglet, but so far I haven't done
this - now (patched) versions of these packages are built with sympy.
Using system mpmath and pyglet is, of course, desirable, but requrires
patching many files - changing
import sympy.mpmath as mpmath
to
import mpmath
etc. I'll try to do this later and see if the result will be usable. There
is also a problem with the external pyglet - currently, it depends on the
binary package avbin-bin available only on x86 and amd64 (instructions for
compiling avbin from sources are complicated and require checking out some
specific cvs snapshot of ffmpeg; of course, it is possible to make a
tarball of this snapshot and mirror it at Gentoo). Also, many things in
pyglet don't work, at least for me. So, it is not a good idea to commit
pyglet to the main tree now.
Please try sympy. It is a very interesting package.
