Hi, I am one of the guys working on getting sage as a system package in Gentoo. Because a problem I had with mpmath (including the version shipped in sympy) I discovered that the setup.py file for sympy includes
import sympy that is it imports itself. I don't think that's right in any way. The only use I see from the setup.py file is to get sympy's version automatically. There is one big problem with that. If sympy is already installed in your system and known to your installed python the version already installed is imported. In short if you have sympy-0.6.6 installed in your system and you try to install sympy-0.6.7 the version reported in setup.py will be 0.6.6. It is clearly what's happening at the moment with the gentoo ebuilds. Francois -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
