Comment #43 on issue 135 by nicolas.pourcelot: Equation & Inequality class
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=135
I don't know how much of the issue is solved now, so maybe it's a bit too
late to
comment.
I think equation syntax is not so important, since sympify can do a lot of
the job.
For example, sympify("2*x+3>5*x-4") should return an inequality object, and
sympify('2*x^2==3*x-4') or even sympify('2*x^2=3*x-4') an equality object.
But a > b or a == b should always return a boolean.
(Maybe a > b should be able to return None as well, for 'I don't know' ?)
General considerations
======================
There was the same kind of debate for the use of "^" for power.
I think all the magic should always be done in sympify.
So, end users may use sympy directly with a "natural" syntax (what's more,
it's easy
to include sympify in an interactive shell)
And developers who use sympy as a library won't be confused by
any "unpythonic" magic
(wich furthermore may slow sympy).
