Taking over maintenance of mpmath has been discussed and it is agreed to do that. It just needs someone with the bandwidth to figure out exactly how transferring a repo works.

More importantly than bloat I think it reflects badly on SymPy in general if the main project ships with things that don't work yet. I would like it to be developed but it isn't being developed currently and I don't think having it in the sympy codebase helps it to get developed. If it was clearly outside then maybe even someone would fork it and work on it independently more easily. -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
