I am also of the opinion that we should unbundle it. Python has an extremely easy dependency tracking system and libraries can be easily installed without root privileges (with virtualenv and pip). Moreover, for the "lazy" scientists there are many pre-bundled python distributions ready to use. Even if considering the google app engine, installing mpmath is as difficult/easy as installing sympy.
