One thing I do (and I think is good practice in general) is that if you know you want inputs n and c to be int and str, put n = int(n) c = str(c) at the top of your code. Regarding sympy/liealgebras/type_a.py[?] Failed to import are there other modules in liealgebras which are loaded, but the module type_a is not? Also, if this is during a test, so from a command in the tests subdirectory, try inserting print statements. For example, in the ntheory test module, between from sympy.ntheory.factor_ import smoothness, smoothness_p from sympy.ntheory.generate import cycle_length insert a print from sympy.ntheory.factor_ import smoothness, smoothness_p print "Hi Mary" from sympy.ntheory.generate import cycle_length See where the failure lies. There are lots of debugging tools around. I don't use any of them. I just insert print statements. *Lots* of them:-) Divide and conquer! >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sympy" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sympy+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sympy@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sympy. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
