But as an interm measure, how does one pass this command through a sage code? I tried maxima.eval_String, but it doesn't seem to work.
In an unrelated note, I rewrote my code trying to use a standalone installation of sympy and it takes forever to compute what maxima in sage did in a few mins, so I guess sympy is nowhere close to "industrial strength".
