Yes, that way Sage allows to call any of those libraries very easily in Sage and at the same time uses just one library by default, that currently is the best at integrating, I guess still Maxima. > >>> At least, they are already aware of their shortcomings (ie: cannot >>> compute the integral of log(x)/x ). >>> >>> I'm sure SAGE people could give big contribute to those, send patches >>> upstream, and move forward if needed. >> >> We got 5 summer of code students this year, so we'll move sympy a lot >> forward this summer.
