I have a few questions: when we rebuild the repo after making changes, does the repo get re-install again or only the modified part get installed? How do we run test on a single test case? How do we log the info from the test case when testing (is there any params when build that has to be added?). Sorry for the long questions!

@asmeurer

You don't have to build SymPy because it is pure Python. If you installed from git, you will have to install again unless you did a pip install -e or setup.py develop. Although I personally just run Python directly from the sympy directory. That does not require reinstalling, as it will just import the development version of SymPy directly.

To run the tests on a single case, you can pass in the file name like ./bin/test test_solvers.py, and use -k to select a specific test like ./bin/test -k test_whatever

I'm not sure about the log question. The output is printed to the screen. You don't have to do anything special to run the tests.

Well that's great helps, thanks a lot !

Hi, can someone tell me how can we add a new function in sympy, beacuse on directly adding, and then calling in terminal gives NameError and says that function called is not defined. Thanks!

@naveensaigit

@hyadav2k If you open python in the same working directory as the repo you clone, you can import the sympy you made changes to without any problems

Craig Russell

@ctr26

Looks like it is a bug

Thanks aaron!

Hello everyone, I'm Nisarg Chaudhari, a second year computer science undergrad, studying at BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, India. I am familiar with python and made some personal projects with it (mainly small games with pygame). I would like to contribute to SymPy. This is my first time contributing to open source, currently going through "Introduction to contributing" in sympy wiki. Is there anything else I need to know to get started?

I'm just running some tests in the printing module, but even without making any changes to any files, pytest is reporting 8 failed tests. Is this normal?

Thomas Aarholt

@thomasaarholt

What are the failures?

I'm not familiar with the sympy ones, but over at hyperspy we often have test failures due to mismatches on matplotlib versions when testing generated images

That said, if you go to the github master, you can see that the red cross implies that the master branch is currently not passing tests

Aaron Stiff

@AaronStiff

Thomas Aarholt

@thomasaarholt

Are you getting something ala "SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence \e"?

None of those are failing :)

Aaron Stiff

@AaronStiff

They aren't?

Thomas Aarholt

@thomasaarholt

Unless you've done something to your colorscheme

Red = failures, yellow is just that it output a warning.

Aaron Stiff

@AaronStiff

I get this at the end: 844 passed, 61 skipped, 8 xfailed, 1 xpassed, 1 warning in 7.50s

Thomas Aarholt

@thomasaarholt

xfailed are "allowed/expected failures"

Aaron Stiff

@AaronStiff

Oh! That makes sense. Thanks.

Sympy Travis is failing atm; sympy-dev appears to be pretty badly broken (AssertionError: {'sympy.polys.matrices'}). Any news on when it'll be fixed?

>>> sympify(0.0) == S.false
True
>>> S.false==sympify(0.0)
False

What's the reason for this behaviour? Shouldn't the latter be True too?

@thomasaarholt

What does sympify(0.0) evaluate to?

I agree that it seems odd

(and what does S.false evaluate to?)

Sayandip Halder

@sayandip18

sympify(0.0) is sympy.core.numbers.Float whereas S.false is sympy.logic.boolalg.BooleanFalse

Hi @che2712 , you can start with https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Introduction-to-contributing for starters, and then you can refer to the docs https://docs.sympy.org/latest/index.html. For the later part, refer to https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Development-workflow.

Hey, there . If have a idea proposal or a feature proposal , Can I talk about it here

Ganesh C K M

@ckmganesh

@asmeurer This is just an idea I thought would be useful if implemented. Maclaurin's series is one of the most used series today but if we have to find it using existing methods, we have to manually find using derivative at every single point. But a separate module or inbuilt function would come really handy. The user will pass Maclaurins(function_name) and the function can return the coefficients as an array. This can save a lot of time if implemented . Any suggestion would be of great help. Hoping for a reply :)

Aaron Meurer

@asmeurer

That already exists, in the series submodule.

However, if you search the issue tracker, there are several issues that can be worked on relating to it.

Ganesh C K M

@ckmganesh

ohh okayy, Thankss

che2712

@che2712

Thanks @suryam35 , I'll start right away

Ganesh C K M

@ckmganesh

@asmeurer I went through all the files in the series submodule. I can't seem to find Maclaurin's function under the module. Can you please tell me the name of the file?

Aaron Meurer

@asmeurer

The main function is the series method. The actual code for it is on the various functions, mostly in sympy/functions. There is also sympy/series/formal.py for formal power series, which is for getting the general formula of a series rather than just the first few terms.

Ganesh C K M

@ckmganesh

@asmeurer I checked in all the scripts you suggested. I can't seem to find it. It's not exactly the Taylor series but it is based on that. I also checked the documentation for the same but I couldn't find anything. Could you please help me with it

Sayandip Halder

@sayandip18

Can someone confirm whether solve([abs(x) - 2, arg(x) - pi], x) is returning [(-2,)] on the master? It's showing NotImplementedError: solving Abs(x) when the argument is not real or imaginary. for me although it was returning the correct answer just a while back.

Aaron Meurer

@asmeurer

You can use git checkout to try older commits to find one that works, and use git bisect to find a commit that made the change.

Aaron Meurer

@asmeurer

Although based on the error message, you may have had x set as real=True before. It works if you do that.

Sidharth Mundhra

@0sidharth

the correct answer just a while back

I checked a few commits in the history till October, and it is returning NotImplementedError for me in all of them. I think, as mentioned above, x probably was set to real=True when you tried.

bdonnahue

@bdonnahue

hey folks. I am trying to solve an equation with nested expressions for example: y - f(x +2). I dont understand how to write f so that it can handle the expression x + 2

Sayandip Halder

@sayandip18

@bdonnahue

>>> f=Function('f')
>>> f(x)
f(x)
>>> f(x+2)
f(x + 2)

hey everyone! anyone in here that is working with sympy.units?

@HighMans

Quick question, how do you either multiply a matrix with the eigenspace from the output of eigenvects or how do you convert a list of matrices in to one matrix?
