Comment #21 on issue 2482 by ondrej.c...@gmail.com: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
Thanks for discussing it. Assume that new mpmath version stops being
compatible. What will you do? I assume that you will update sympy and
release as well, right (that's what I would do)?
How will you fix:
1) git bisect (that will now seriously stop working, because each git hash
needs a different mpmath version to make it work)
2) users will have some version of mpmath installed on their systems, but
only some version of sympy will work, and now they need to fiddle with
versions dependencies
3) will we provide mpmath version that works, or will users have to
download it from mpmath site?
4) how will sympy-bot test sympy? Will he always (automatically) download
the "right" version? Will it work?
Now, assume we look at things the opposite way. We always keep working
version of mpmath in the git sympy repo, as it is now and provide strip
down versions of sympy for Debian or pip. Then:
pip install sympy will work, sudo apt-get install python-sympy will work,
#541746 will be fixed, ./setup.py install will work. And git will work.
