New issue 2482 by ronan.l...@gmail.com: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
Bundling mpmath causes problems for interoperation with user code and
libraries using mpmath themselves (cf. discussions about this in issue
2160). It's also a problem for porting to Python3, as mpmath uses the same
source under Python2 and 3, while we want to use 2to3, but no existing tool
allows to mix the two approaches inside a single package.
So, I think that we should make mpmath an external dependency and remove it
from our source tree. To specify the dependency properly, we'll need to
port our setup.py to Distribute. I have a branch that does all this:
https://github.com/rlamy/sympy/tree/unbundle-mpmath - it's not quite
polished enough for a pull request but it works under tox (though not in
python2.4, because mpmath 0.17 is incompatiblme with it).
