> yeah, I am playing with the Python 3 version. Works great so far. I didn't even look at the docs, but I think I got the solve part working. I cut down on typing a bit, though. Typing Symbol all day long could get tedious:
from sympy import Symbol as S, solve, pprint a,b,c,x = S('a'),S('b'),S('c'),S('x') pprint(solve(a*x*x + b*x + c, x, dict=True)) ## pretty picture here a,b,c = 3,5,6 ## seeing if it solves stuff the way I think y = solve(a*x*x + b*x + c, x, dict=True) print(y) ## result: [{x: -5/6 - sqrt(47)*I/6}, {x: -5/6 + sqrt(47)*I/6}] ## Oops, looks like I accidentally went complex ;') I certainly like a module where you don't have to search and ponder, and it works about like you expect. It seems very straightforward. -- Jim After indictment the bacon smuggler was put on the no-fry list _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
