The `Mascyma' versus `Macsyma' subtlety escaped my scrutiny :-). http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/mascyma/index.xhtml.de Their CVS server (the only download choice) is not responding. So I'll forget Mascyma for now. Maxima does work, that's a lot already! :-) I perused what I could find about Python on algebra or symbolic calculus, and nothing I saw, so far, stands even a pale comparison with Maxima. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Dang, and I put [sic] too. IOW, 'macsyma'.replace('cs','sc')

Re: computer algebra packages
Hi. The reason is simple enough. I plan to do some academic research related to computer algebra for which i need some package which i can call as a library. Since i am not going to use the package myself..(rather my program will)..it will be helpful to have a python package since i wanted to write the thing in python. if none is available then probably i will need to work on an interface to some package written in some other language or work in that language itself. rahul Kay Schluehr wrote: Rahul wrote: Hi.

But I don't have any references handy, sorry, and as far as I remember it was done as a private contract. But it's doable. It should also be doable with Maple, using the OpenMaple API. I've looked at it, and it should be possible. I haven't had the time to actually do anything, though :-) -- ||\/| /--\ |David M.

Seems to be non-proprietary, or something different, but does it work? I don't have Mathematica, so I don't know. Mmh, not very promising. I just downloaded it, and it looks pretty dated: PYML is a python interface to Mathematica which uses MathLink. It allows the Python programmer to evaluate Mathematica expressions. Expressions are passed to PYML as a Python object, which is processed into MathLink calls. PYML calls MathLink to evaluate the expression and prints the result. Currently, PYML supports Mathematica 2.2 and 3.0. The program is evolving continuously. given that Mathematica is at v5.1, this may or may not work. It's from 1998, has no setup.py, etc. It might still work, and if nothing else it would be a perfect starting point and a nice project to revive. But I don't have the time nor the need for this right now, perhaps the OP might want to play with it. Thanks for the reference though, I didn't know abou it.
