Hi all, Ondrej and I have been discussing changes for sympy gamma that would make the project more useable for the Mathpix project (http://mathpix.com/). Our main issues with the software are the following:
1. Evaluation of Sympy expressions is string based and uses 'eval'. This is problematic for us as we are using a Latex parser which directly generates a Sympy object: https://github.com/augustt198/latex2sympy/tree/master. 2. Plotting is done server side and is not robust. Computing the points should be done client side in javascript for greater responsiveness. 3. Too much display logic in templates and server side code. For example, all the code in https://github.com/sympy/sympy_gamma/blob/master/templates/card.html could be distilled into a single ReactJS component. Moving as much of the code as possible into Javascript would go a long way into making the code easier to embed in people's web app. There is too much dependence on Django and the Google App Engine. Porting the app to using Flask should be straightforward, but this is far from being the case. If SympyGamma was a thin API to Sympy it would be much easier to use / maintain.
