It would be better to call the numerical_integral function that is already in Sage, which Josh Kantor wrote, which is pretty sophisticated. It uses GSL and a C callback function. Then improve the implementation of that function to also use scipy. To easy steps instead of one hard one.
Scipy probably just calls quadpack so it's likely best to have the numerical_integral function call that instead of scipy. I was thinking from a UI perspective, though. If one already has an integral defined and they attempted to integrate it and failed, one could pass that to a function to evaluate it numerically. I don't know if that's what the numerical_integral function does. Cheers, Tim.
