As to sympy.mechanics, my recommendation, based on my experience with PyDy so far, is to wait till the late fall, like November and see how the development goes. If it stays active, then by all means you should maintain your own project. Also so that you can include more things, for example some compiled code, and so on. If, on the other hand, the development slows down, as it has in the past between the summers, it might be a good idea to keep it in sympy for now. As to PyDy Viz, by looking at the code (https://github.com/PythonDynamics/pydy-viz), I would probably keep it outside. You can put sympy as a git submodule, and Travis will automatically test it. It really depends on how active the development is --- if it is active, then it is easy to keep sympy.mechanics working with recent versions of sympy (in the git submodule). If it is not very active, then it might be easier to let the rest of sympy team to maintain sympy.mechanics. Even things like Python 3 support, you get this for free by being part of sympy. But if you are active, then it is not a big deal to do all this work yourself. Ondrej -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
