@Certik Thanks a lot for replying. Well, as to your first question, I intend to develop a framework that can generate a parser. What we have in mathematica.py is a parser. So I want to take that one step further and devise a standard mechanism by which any developer can extend the enormous power of sympy by specifying a few things(the details of which I am still working on). Also as to your second question, it involves the use of NLP(Natural Language Processing). In that we case, we'll have to use some NLP framework such as NLTK or Gensim to process the inbound query. Although, I can think of a very rudimentary structure in NLP queries such as every query has to be composed of 3 parts:
1. An action. (Essentially the action maps to a function in sympy. The action in your example is "plot") 2. A function (The specified action has to be applied on a something, right? That is the function part. The function in your example is x^2) 3. Limits (Optional)(Since Sympy is largely symbolic in nature, limits may or may not have any significance to the computation. The limits in your example being x= 1 to 10) And to your last question I would like to say that in one sense it is quite a big undertaking. This semester I have a course called "Principles of Compiler construction". After learning about the various parsing techniques used by the standard compilers, I think that we can apply the very same techniques to other Math spec languages too and develop a Parsing framework for sympy.
