Hi Duncan, To the best of my knowledge SymPy is unable to parse LaTeX. We are however able to generate it; this is what you're seeing on live.sympy.org.
You can look at our latex printing by downloading our source and checking out the sympy/sympy/printing/latex.py file. I think it would be awesome to have a latex parser for SymPy. This might be challenging though. -Matt On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 11:19 AM, Duncan Steele <steeledun...@googlemail.com > wrote: > Hello, I am new to sympy, and I am really impressed by the web demo at > live.sympy.org.
