Comment #40 on issue 2482 by [email protected]: Stop bundling mpmath http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
Brad, the plan is for "python3 setup.py install" to just work, we'll just be uploading separate tarballs with py2 and py3 sources (which has the additional advantage of saving the user from actually runing 2to3, which takes a while). Still, like Ronan says, this introduces bugs in our tool-chain and we apparently do not have enough interested developers to fix them.
That said, I'm still all in favor of unbundling. If anything, time has shown that mpmath indeed is quite stable (or, at least, not under active development): if you check the Github repo (which I guess supersedes the Google Code one by now), there's only been a handful of commits since last year. Also, the bundling of mpmath was somewhat confusing to our GCI students - not sure how much this is relevant, but still.
In any case, I'd rather not get into a big discussion about this (again :)). If I had more time, I'd my code where my mouth is and work on a branch which drops mpmath, but since I don't I'll just stop talking now. :)
