Thanks for the link Aaron. What other parts of SymPy could be optimised without working on deprecated code? I could try to produce a dependence graph to find the most referenced modules.
I read in that thread that removing the old assumptions could be a challenging project. What skills does it rely on? Is it more mathematics or software engineering? I have more experience in the later doing a Comp. Sc. degree (encapsulation, modularity, OO design patterns). On Mar 24, 7:56 am, "Aaron S.
