NAME
isympy - interactive shell for SymPy
SYNOPSIS
isympy [-c | --console]
isympy [ {-h | --help} | {-v | --version} ]
DESCRIPTION
isympy is a Python shell for SymPy. It is just a normal python shell
(ipython shell if you have the ipython package installed) that executes
the following commands so that you don’t have to:
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> from sympy import *
>>> x, y, z = symbols("xyz")
>>> k, m, n = symbols("kmn", integer=True)
So starting isympy is equivalent to starting python (or ipython) and
executing the above commands by hand. It is intended for easy and quick
experimentation with SymPy. For more complicated programs, it is
recommended to write a script and import things explicitly (using the
"from sympy import sin, log, Symbol, ..." idiom).
OPTIONS
-c shell, --console=shell
Use the specified shell (python or ipython) as console backend
instead of the default one (ipython if present or python
otherwise).
Example: isympy -c python
FILES
${HOME}/.sympy-history
Saves the history of commands when using the python shell as
backend.
BUGS
The upstreams BTS can be found at
〈http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/list〉 Please report all bugs
that you find in there, this will help improve the overall quality of
SymPy.
