Exactly, TableForm is part of the output. We can of course remove the whole output system, but again, I am +1 to have all this in sympy. Currently, I didn't know any other way to implement TableForm than to subclass it from Basic, so that it works with sympy's printing system. Ronan, if you know a better way, let me know. We can improve it. > > One thing you could ask is if you installed python and sympy on a new > machine without your own tools for manipulating data, would you be wishing > for the TableForm or not?

Btw, tablib does *not* seem to support the kind of ascii pretty printing that TableForm does. Or am I wrong Ronan?
