Comment #54 on issue 2482 by skirpic...@gmail.com: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
* more complex installation *everywhere*
What is a price? I don't think, that few words in README.rst to instruct
users first install mpmath actually poses a problem.
* harder development and bug triaging in sympy: suddenly sympy git hash
is not enough
It's already "not enough": there is a lot of external dependencies in sympy
(e.g. gmpy).
* mpmath is integral part of sympy
Yes. But the same argument is applicable to libc. Do you think that
almost every package in linux distribution should include a bundled copy of
libc?!
----------
* Easier for Debian, Fedora developers
... and a long list of linux distributions is coming.
The DLL hell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell) doesn't apply in
our case
DLL hell is a hell of reasons why distributions prefer unbundling :)
The second point is fixed sort of
Yet in a more complex way...
