It shouldn't. It just has it. > Not mentioned in the github readme.

For developers, also mentioned link. Maybe we should add that text in the sympy tree too (something like HACKING.rst, like in scipy). > >Did you install mpmath as described in the README.rst? > > That is described *after* the instruction to try try SymPy. Why this should matter at all? We have all installation instructions for users in the README in the specific section.

I expect that people read installation instructions before blaming that we have some installation problems. Probably, it only one assumption we can do about our users. For sure, this can be violated, but it's waste of time to workarround this. > >As you don't explain what you do before - it's hard to guess what's was > >wrong. > >Perhaps, first time you did sudo python install .. > > Hey, Python comes preinstalled. The problem here is certainly not with Python. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
