[Ann] SymPy 0.6.6 released
Vinzent Steinberg
we just released a new version of SymPy, get it here [0].
Many things got changed, including:
* many documentation improvements, including docstrings and doctests
* new assumptions system (GSoC) (See assumptions documentation for
more information or have a look at Fabian's blog [1].)
o Note: This is going to replace the old assumption system.
It is encouraged to use it for new code, however it is not completely
finished and parts of sympy have yet to be rewritten to use it; this
scheduled for the 0.7 release.
* improvements to test runner
* printing improvements (especially LaTeX, but also mathml and
pretty printing)
* discriminant of polys
* block diagonal methods for matrices
* vast improvements to solving of ODEs (GSoC) (See ODE
documentation for full details or Aaron's blog [2]).
* logcombine function
* improvements to sets
* better trigonometric simplification
* improvements to piecewise functions
* improvements to solve() and nsolve()
* improvements to as_numer_denom()
* much better quartic and cubic polynomial rootfinding
* code refactoring and cleanup
* physics: coupled clusters and wick expansion
* matrices: symbolic QR solving
* mpmath updated
* pyglet updated
* many, many bug fixes and small improvements
For a more detailed changelog see the git history [3].

branch [4], which will bring many improvements to SymPy's
functionality.
Happy Christmas to you all

Congratulations to the new release!
After a quick setup.py install on my amd64 Debian I have a few
comments - found maybe a bug:
I have a ~/.pydistutils.cfg file:
shaase@iris:~/qq/sympy-0.6.6: cat ~/.pydistutils.cfg
[install]
#install_lib = ~/sebPy/py-lib
install_lib = ~/sebPy/lib
install_scripts = ~/sebPy/bin
but I get this error message at the very end of setup.py install:
running install_data
copying doc/man/isympy.1 -> /usr/share/man/man1
error: /usr/share/man/man1/isympy.1: Permission denied
is this a bug or a miss-configuaration on my side !?
Also I noticed that sympy installs into the bin directory (besides isympy):
~/sebPy/bin/test
~/sebPy/bin/doctest
Are those quite "generic" names for a (global) bin directory !?

I don't know whether custom installation directories ever worked, and
I never tried it. Possible that it's just broken for a long time.
You might have a look at our setup.py, I don't know if we do something
wrong. Actually it's up to distutils to install into the correct
directory.

The last point was more referring to the (non custom) installation of
bin files named "test" and "doctest" - which seems like a very generic
name, i.e. how about sympy_test, and sympy_doctest !?

Not only are they installed, but they don't even work:
Aaron-Meurer:~ aaronmeurer$doctest
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/doctest", line 17, in <module>
from get_sympy import path_hack
ImportError: No module named get_sympy
Aaron-Meurer:~ aaronmeurer$cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/
Aaron-Meurer:bin aaronmeurer$./test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test", line 14, in <module>
from get_sympy import path_hack
ImportError: No module named get_sympy
Let's get this fixed.

I just uploaded sympy-0.6.6 into Debian, so maybe it will get there
automatically (as into Ubuntu).

Done. I also updated live.sympy.org and pypi and freshmeat.
Thanks everyone for this release and especially Vinzent for managing it!
