I recommend installing Anaconda https://www.continuum.io/downloads. Once you install Anaconda you will have sympy and many other packages installed.
Then to develop on SymPy, simply clone the git repo and navigate to that directory. Modify the code in that directory and then you can run the tests, etc there to see if your changes work or not.
