Hi, It's been a while, but I'm the one who committed the original sin of including pyglet. In general, I agree with you. The intent back then was to allow users to plot out-of-the-box, without any external dependencies. I've since come to believe that our users are generally python programmers who can handle the installation of dependencies.
On the other hand, I want to avoid the situation that used to happen with PyOpenGL on windows: you had to install specific, non-standard versions of numeric, PIL, etc (see http://www.visionegg.org/install-windows-details.html). Things to think about: * How would this work for people using the windows installer? Can it handle dependencies somehow, or should pyglet be a separate download? * Plotting hasn't been updated to use the latest versions of pyglet (we depend on < 1.0, I think). If someone uses a more recent pyglet, how do we know it's going to work? We might end up getting a lot of bug reports relating to version mismatch. Regrettably, I haven't had enough time to contribute regularly, but I've been toying here and there with different ways of doing plotting. I've been thinking it might be a good idea to make a separate package sympy-plotting, sympy-extras, or similiar. We could offer two windows installers, one with plotting and one without, though it would create quite a bit of extra work for each release. So, is sympy an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink, batteries-included library, or a svelte library with lots of optional add-ons?
