I will try to take a look at this package when I get a chance. I
remember the earlier discussion but didn't know something concrete
came out of it.
Incidentally, to Stan, I think that
sage: sage.calculus.calculus.maxima.eval('load(noninteractive);')
should do it (or some variant thereof). It's important to use the
calculus copy of maxima, so it knows about whatever you do with
symbolics.
