A bit late reply is that one could try to use WINE to test SymPy on win32 platform. Recently I've crafted a tool to unroll development environment (Python+NumPy+MinGW+other-extras) under WINE, and perform quick jumps between Linux and Win32 worlds: http://landau.phys.spbu.ru/~kirr/cgi-bin/hg.cgi/navy-wine-devtools/ you could even run ipython on win32 console and access the same SymPy files you are currently editing under Linux This piece of code lacks (yet) documentation, so I'll write here how to setup it: $ hg clone http://landau.phys.spbu.ru/~kirr/cgi-bin/hg.cgi/navy-wine-devtools/ $ cd navy-wine-devtools/ $ cd distrib/ # now we are going to download all the win32 software we need (it's kind # of a distribution) $ ./__fetchblobs__.sh # ... a lot of downloading is happenning ... # let's get back and setup WINE instance $ cd .. $ export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/x.navwin32 # ^ ^ ^ # WINEPREFIX points to where our windows setup will live (and btw, you # can have several win32 instances simultaneously) # let's finally create win32 instance! $ ./navy-wine-dev-install.sh # ... a lot of things are installed and optionally compiled ... # source handy win32-jump aliases $ . waliases.sh # ---- now let's get to try SymPy/win32 ---- # first clone sympy $ hg clone http://hg.sympy.org/sympy $ cd sympy $ wipython # this invokes ipython from under win32, or $ widle and try import sympy there and other things and as a bonus, here is how to build msi installer for sympy under Linux: $ wpython setup.py bdist_msi That's it. ------ And the last note -- I've got ok from my supervisor to share this, and also we could generalize this to some general tool (at present the needed setup is hardcoded), so if anyone is interested, let's create separate project for this, and of course: Patches Welcome! -- Всего хорошего, Кирилл. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
