computer algebra packages

[Rahul]

Hi.
Well is there an open source computer algebra system written in python
or at least having a python interface?
I know of 2 efforts: pythonica and pyginac...are there any others?

Description : A user-friendly frontend for MAXIMA
Mascyma is (trying to be) a user-friendly graphical frontend for the Computer
Algebra System GNU MAXIMA. It is written in Python and provides two GUIs,
one of which based on PyGTK, the other based on wxPython.

I was not successful googling for this one. Would you have an URL handy?

Note the deliberate spelling, and cut-and-paste.

Thanks. The `Mascyma' versus `Macsyma' subtlety escaped my scrutiny :-).

Their CVS server (the only download choice) is not responding. So I'll
forget "Mascyma" for now. Maxima does work, that's a lot already! :-) I
perused what I could find about Python on algebra or symbolic calculus,
and nothing I saw, so far, stands even a pale comparison with Maxima.

Probably this is usable for you (I never used any of them):

This system MAXIMA is [...] based on the original implementation of
Macsyma at MIT [...]

Wow! A derivative of Joel Moses' integrator!! I was not aware this
existed, so thanks for the pointer. It worked out of the box for me!

I also found

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/math/mascyma

by googling for "A user-friendly frontend for MAXIMA"

(I find that quoting a whole phrase that is likely to be repeated in
docs and in references often finds stuff)

Then googling for mascsyma [sic ;-)] got

http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/m...index.xhtml.de
leading to screenshots at
http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/m...shots.xhtml.de

No idea what the status of all that is, but looks nice.

Dang, and I put "[sic]" too. IOW, 'macsyma'.repla ce('cs','sc')
I doubt it. ;-)

Rightly ;-/ Fingers think they know spelling better than I do ;-/

Oops, OK! Found it at http://cens.ioc.ee/~pearu/misc/maxima/ .

As I'm reading news offline I don't know what's on that page. The Ubuntu
Linux copyright file says the files are obtained from
<http://mulk.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/viewc...Python-Mascyma
&view=tar> and you can find more information at
<http://www.brummulk.de .vu/projects/mascyma/>

There is mascyma
http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/m...nload.xhtml.en
that is a pyhton based interface to maxima. I do not know how it
works, since it does not work for me in the moment. The window
appears on screen but I get no promt in the moment.
