In this case you will have to create a GitHub account. Without one you will not be able to send a pull request. > I found this ideas great: > * implement general code parsing (Mathematica, Maxima, Axiom etc.) > using e.g. pyparsing. > * improve the integration algorithm, so that SymPy can integrate > anything that can be integrated. > * parsing (fortran and C code to sympy expressions). Which one of these you like most? There are already on-going discussions on both of these topics (for example, [0] and [1], but there are more), you may find looking at them useful. > But I still have some questions: > * What is the time to write a patch? If you are asking whether now is the right time to write the patch, then the answer is "Yes, sure". > * How deep should be the background in mathematics and physics? A lot depends on the task you choose. Neither of the tasks you list requires knowledge in physics; parsing does not require mathematical knowledge, but you need to have the proper background in parsers. > You can contact me via email dkz....@gmail.com Are you subscribed to SymPy Google Group? If not, you should definitely do that.
