Thomas, Sachin just submitted a Cartesian based vector calc package to sympy for this summer's GSoC:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/tree/master/sympy/vector The new documentation for this should be available this week. Adding new CoordinateSystems like Spherical, etc should be relatively straightforward now that all that is in place. There is code in this PR (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/2208) that could be helpful and relevant, as it attempted to implement the other coordinate systems in another version of a vector calculus package. So if you'd like to contribute this functionality, we'd welcome it. I'm sure Sachin has a lot of ideas about this.
