The comparison with Mathematica isn't terribly helpful since it isn't a library but a full-fledged programming language, and the IDE that goes with it, and more things besides.

I don't understand how you define "all this". Code generation is perfectly in scope for a symbolic manipulation library and making sympy usable for physics calculations is basically a core design goal (though sympy.physics should ideally be split off into a separate project having sympy as its major dependency). On the other hand, printing a table and calling up a bookmark seem rather peripheral to the goal of building a library for symbolic mathematics. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
