numpy people use
import numpy as np
and often
import scipy  as sp
and
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

How about
import sympy as S

(for my part I still use import numpy as N -- historical relict from
Numeric and numarray)

Both lower case "s" and unabbreviated "sympy" seem bad choices for me ...


My two cents,

Sebastian Haase
