When I was using a development repository and wanted to test with PyPy, I 
wrote a little bash function that would set PYTHONPATH to include whatever 
repository I was interested in, and then call PyPy.  That way I didn't need 
to change my environment, and could easily switch from tree to tree.

Now, on one of my Ubuntu installs, I don't have any of the Git tools, but 
just installed Sympy from the regular Ubuntu channel using Synaptic.  
 (Ubuntu 18.10 currently has version 1.2, so not quite up to date, but very 
functional.)    Works nicely, and integrates with Jupyter notebook, etc.

But, if I want to use PyPy, it doesn't see the Sympy install.  (This is a 
generic PyPy / debian issue, I think.  PyPy doesn't seem to find any of the 
extra packages that you install.)

Have other people in the community taken the Ubuntu install route?  Is 
there a reasonable technique for dealing with this situation?   I suppose I 
could use the PYTHONPATH=... trick, but was wondering if there was a more 
easily maintainable approach?

I know I could use Anaconda or pip, but as a general rule like to use the 
Ubuntu repositories where they are available.   I figure it it is easier to 
administer a machine if all my packages are installed/updated with the same 
tools.

If there is a good solution, AND there is a consensus that it is worth 
documenting, I volunteer to add it to the "Other methods" paragraph of the 
installation section of the docs.

Thanks.
