Hi, would it "conceptually" fit to add a function (somwhere) into Sympy that can generate magic squares ?
I was going through some examples online (I think it was Matlab actually) where a "magic square" was often used just as a convenient way to get a matrix filled with some "interesting" values. The code is already written (MIT License) and available: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/magic_square and/or http://mihailovs.com/Alec/Python/magic_square.html magic_square.py is supposedly also included in sage, but I thought it could be copied to Sympy since its simple enough and maybe of interest to others also. The module is about 300 lines of code and includes long doc strings and many doc-tests (only not formated correctly, as far as I can tell) I would recommend to do some code changes later on. The package is dated 2007-02-23 and some parts seem to not conform to "good style", e.g >>> magic_square.ismagic(None) NotImplemented ----> there is lots of special code related to "None" handling, and some questionable use global variables >>> magic_square.magic(2) TypeError: No such magic squares exist. ----> should be ValueError -- or ?
