Could you please elaborate (in technical terms) what is wrong in principle with our Risch algorithm implementation, apart that it needs fixing for integrals that it cannot yet do? Or is the approach we took with sympy not the right one to get the symbolic integration done. If Sage developers are willing to write calculus things in Python (or Cython) I am definitely interested, if it'd be possible to use it as a standalone package (e.g. without the rest of Sage, currently 1GB after unpacking on my system). To put my question in other words, what exactly should be done to implement the symbolic integration in Sage? I want to have symbolic integration in Python and so far what I (and mainly Mateusz, Kirill and other sympy developers) tried is in sympy. So if our approach is wrong, I am interested in critical opinions.
