Hi All, Context: Thanks to developments in the JavaScript world, we can now run Python in the browser. See the projects emscripten <https://emscripten.org/>, Pyodide <https://pyodide.org/en/stable/>, and JupyterLite <https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>/Pyolite <https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kernels/pyolite.html> for more about this. Essentially, modern web browsers are capable of running the real CPython interpreter, and not only that but most pure-Python packages can be imported <https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/api/micropip-api.html> and run without issues!
Several SymPy users proposed the idea of using this new functionality to create a new SymPy shell that runs in the browser. I'm happy to announce this idea is now a reality. Navigate to this URL *https://www.sympy.org/en/shell.html <https://www.sympy.org/en/shell.html>* to check it out. Some notes, in point form, about this project: - based on latest version of SymPy (the version on pypi) - initial load takes between 15 and 30 seconds (on desktop) - running commands is very fast after initial load - supports modern web browsers like Firefox and Chrome - works on some mobile browsers (more testing needed) Many thanks to Jeremy Tuloup who showed how the JupyterLite REPL can be customized to create a SymPy shell. The new SymPy shell on the sympy.org website is an experiment that allows us to test the new JupyterLite-based REPL and iron out any edge cases, with the goal of eventually using the same approach on https://live.sympy.org/ (which has been becoming increasingly difficult to maintain and keep up to date). I invite you all to try out the new shell <https://www.sympy.org/en/shell.html> by running your favorite SymPy calculations (see bit.ly/sympyjstest for examples). If you encounter problems, bugs, or other unexpected behavior during testing, please add a comment to this issue: https://github.com/sympy/sympy.github.com/issues/176 - Ivan PS: For more background info about this work, see this initial discussion here <https://github.com/sympy/sympy-live/issues/83> and PRs 169 <https://github.com/sympy/sympy.github.com/pull/169> and 174 <https://github.com/sympy/sympy.github.com/pull/174>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
