Just one issue: the sympification of lambda x : x Does it make sense for sympify(lambda x : x) to return an implemented_function with an _imp = lambda x: x? Otherwise the nsolve stuff is dealt with in the pull request for symbolic nsolve. > > Aaron Meurer > > On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 9:34 AM, [email protected] > <[email protected]> wrote: >> The problem of "python functions evaluate immediately sympy functions don't" >> is obvious when one tries to plot/lambdify something that contains both Expr >> and some numerical routine.
