Comment #17 on issue 2482 by ondrej.c...@gmail.com: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
Let's keep this issue focused to *mpmath* only.
(For pyglet, I totally agree with you, that it is broken, and I agree with
you, that we should not ship pyglet with sympy, and I am trying to find
time to improve the SymPy plotting as much as I can.)
For mpmath:
* it is an integral part of SymPy, i.e. sympy does not work without it (at
all)
* there is *no* other package, that can do the job of mpmath
For all other dependencies, I agree that we should *not* bundle them with
sympy, because sympy works just fine without them.
The only case, where I am ok to take mpmath out is if somebody provides a
sympy implementation of mpmath, so that sympy can work without it. Just
like we do with pyglet, gmpy, ipython, scipy and numpy. Then I would be ok
with that.
Until that happens, i.e. until mpmath becomes optional, it should stay in.
It is literally about 10 files, and as I described, it doesn't break things
for nobody, or if it does, it can be fixed. As I said, I am +1 to allow to
remove it optionally for distributions, and also for you Ronan, so that you
can install it in some other way. Also of course I am +1 to make sure that
the sympy.mpmath doesn't collide with system wide mpmath.
So let's keep this issue focused to mpmath only, and if there is some
problem with having it in sympy, let's figure it out and fix it.
