Hello Aaron,
The idea of Sympy practical guide is not from
the ideas list. I thought it would nicer if we have documentation of
the code, test the code and also render the code (if user wants to) at
the same time and same place, so that it would be very quick to learn
Sympy. Please, let me know your opinion on this idea. I have attached
the screen shots. please, take a look at this.
First:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8pXy4LH0sF0dmRuTy1rX01SWkc1Y1NUalBvS2RWZw/edit
Second:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8pXy4LH0sF0VlhPeENDVXVUd2VDck9Kc2VBYWVEZw/edit
Third:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8pXy4LH0sF0REliUXozeUlUQUswQnNfUU5UUE5uZw/edit
...
...
And the remaining practical guide features are already discussed.
Let me know whether it is useful to Sympy or not.
Regards,
Abhiram
