Hi, presumably people other than the Sympy developers can create packages 
which use Sympy to do interesting things. I am curious to know if there is 
any mechanism for distributing such packages.

Is there any way to install a third-party package in an existing 
installation of Sympy? Is there a centralized or decentralized repository 
of packages? Are Sympy packages mainly distributed via PyPI? What mechanism 
is used to install a package?

How much effort goes into reviewing and vetting packages? Is there any 
process for approving Sympy packages before publication? Have any security 
problems ever been encountered in Sympy packages? Does the package 
distributor make any statements as to guarantees about security or the lack 
of them?

The reason I ask all these goofy questions is that we are debating package 
distribution over in the Maxima project, and I would just like to check in 
and see what you have encountered and how it has been resolved. Thanks for 
any light you can shed on this topic. 

best,

Robert Dodier
