Comment #4 on issue 2160 by [email protected]: List of dependencies
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2160
I agree with you on compiled extensions. However, bundling libraries like
mpmath and pyglet doesn't work fine. It flies in the face of every
distribution's principles[*] and prevents people from using sympy with
standalone mpmath/pyglet easily. This has concrete consequences: if we
didn't bundle pyglet, plotting would surely work on MacOS through EPD.
As for installing dependencies, sympy alone isn't terribly usable, so you
need to install other stuff anyway (e.g. ipython)... And if you install
pip, then getting sympy and all its dependencies is just a matter of
typing 'pip install sympy'. So I don't think bundling external libraries
has a lot of advantages, even in your use case, but if you think it
matters, you could put sympy and all the dependencies in a tarball with a
script to install everything.
