It would be somehow more helpful if important sage components like
simpy and scipy are compatible by default and one does not have to
play with namespaces.
See PEP 20 for a reason to use namespaces:
The issue is not with namespaces, which is a good programming
practice, but with the incompatibility between simpy and scipy. I
believe some of these important packages should be integrated under
one umbrella.
Are you aware that scipy and sympy are two completely separate projects
that have little to do with each other? It's fine for scipy and for
sympy to each import a diff function; the function makes sense in each
package's context. I think we would be overstepping our bounds to
insist that the scipy folks rename their diff function because some
other package out there also had a diff function.
However, if you wanted to pursue this, these questions would be
questions for the respective projects (sympy and scipy). For us, a 3rd
party integrating both, namespaces is the natural way to access things
in each package.
Thanks,
Jason
