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).
