I am pretty much ok with any of the _non-complex_ suggestions mentioned in the thread (for an appropriate definition of "complex"), but I guess the following datapoint could be useful whenever you decide to continue the discussion:
- on more than one occasion I have wanted to install only the polynomials module without the rest of sympy - the same goes for the core+polynomials without anything else The reasons were usually revolving around building a better mental model of the library, searching for unnecessary or even stupid dependencies, etc. It would also be very useful for experimentation. Currently sympy does _not_ have a simple core. At least in the mental model of more casual user like myself.
