I've spent the entire week trying to get pudb, winpdb, and sympy's plot to 
work on my macbook pro (OS X 10.6.8), and alternatively in Ubuntu 11 in a 
virtual machine. I managed to get winpdb and pudb to work. Sympy's plot, 
almost entirely doesn't. As far as I can tell, lots of digging tells me 
this is Pyglet's fault. 
The furthest I managed is, by executing pl.py, a program to plot(x**2) (and 
some slight variants of it), by entering arch -i386 python2.6  pl.py, I 
finally got a plot. But the python window that opens up, without fail, 
refuses to respond.
It sounds ambitious to me, but Pyglet has lots of issues on almost all 
kinds of machines – what is the possibility of trying to shift to a 
different rendering engine? Could I work on that as my GSoC project?
All the functions worked as described on a certain friend's machine, but in 
no instance on my computer. So it might be the fault of somethings I've 
installed beforehand etc., but I think that's pretty unlikely, because all 
errors I get (whenever I did get an error, and it wasn't just python 
hanging), seem to be Pyglet's issues.

Would you say I furnish you with more details? Or can working on an 
equation editor work as an entire GSoC project? In any way, I would be 
grateful to receive some direction on how to start off with that (the 
equation editor).

Regards
