Comment #48 on issue 2482 by [email protected]: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
it does break with various earlier versions of mpmath
We can add workarounds, as for any other library.
So I think it should be quite easy to keep a copy of a working mpmath
version with sympy, but have a switch (in setup.py?) to use external
version if the user wants.
There is a lot of problems with bundled library, not just simplify sympy's
maintenance in Linux distributions. Quote some from this discussion:
- DLL hell
- more complex py3 support
Arguments against unbundling:
- a more complex installation on Win/Mac
- more testing
- mpmath is not a quite stable
- mpmath is an integral part of sympy
First three, I think, have proven to be wrong. Regarding the last one, I
would like to point on mpfr (an alternative?).
