Comment (by eviatarbach):
This patch depends on a new release of Pynac and other fixes to make the
`algorithm` keyword work sensibly. Also, I don't see much point in having
the Maxima implementation as an option, considering the fact that it
doesn't accept complex input, doesn't have arbitrary precision, and is
slower than mpmath (doesn't appear to scale better either).
I'd hate to delay this patch longer, especially considering that the Airy
functions are probably among the most-used special functions. Could we
remove the Maxima option for now and perhaps add it in the future, maybe
along with a patch that adds a SciPy option as suggested in one of the
comments?
