Comment #10 on issue 2482 by [email protected]: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482

I am -1 on this. On linux there is no problem installing all the dependencies, on Mac it is a bit harder (no apt-get install scipy), and on Windows it is way harder. The same on the app engine and other things, where Distribute is (imho) not an option. The core functionality should stay pure Python and it should be self contained in SymPy.

+1 to remove pyglet.

Ronan, can you describe the problems with including mpmath in sympy? It should be able to coexist with any other mpmath installed on your system without any problems. The only disadvantage is that it is not completely easy to upgrade mpmath to new version, which will be fixed by using relative imports, once we drop Python 2.4. Then it should be enough to just put mpmath into sympy as it is and be done with it. And import it relatively.

We can discuss with Fredrik, whether he would accept patches to make this work, but I am sure that things can be resolved. I just checked the latest release of mpmath and it is using relative imports, so things should work just fine.
