You can define your own function by subclassing from Function.
Something like
class sinc(Function):
"""
Normalized sinc function.
"""
@classmethod
def eval(cls, x):
# Only evaluate if sinc evaluates
s = sympy.sinc(pi*x)
if not isinstance(s, sinc):
return s/(pi*x)
This will print as sinc() because that's the name of the class. You
have to be careful to not mix up your custom sinc and sympy.sinc.
Depending on what you are doing, you may also need to define methods
like fdiff() to define the derivative. You can see the original
definition of sympy.sinc here
