If you're using Cython you can bypass the global symbol registry and construct your symbols using pynac directly. This untested function (based on sage.symbolic.ring.SymbolicRing.symbol) might work: def my_symbol(name): cdef GSymbol symb GSymbol_construct_str(&symb, name) cdef Expression e e = <Expression>PY_NEW(Expression) GEx_construct_symbol(&e._gobj, symb) e._parent = SR return e You need to include sage/libs/ginac/decl.pxi to get the declarations of GSymbol, GSymbol_construct_str, etc. Cheers, Burcin -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
