Hi François, I think the proper solution should be for upstream sympy to not have a copy of mpmath, or, somehow not let it conflict with a toplevel mpmath. Otherwise, patching will be required. For now I am using this one (with minor changes for 2010.1 and sage 4.4): http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/sagemath/current/SOURCES/sage-4.4.4-sympy_mpmath.patch?view=markup and forcing python-mpmath to be uninstalled if upgrading the sagemath package. > Francois > > -- Paulo -- 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
