Hi everyone, my name is Michele and i am a second year university  CS major. I was browsing  the GSOC ideas, and there  it was mentioned that the pyglet module needs to be ported and simplified. Can i get any pointers on how to get started? I have already two minor commits merged in the project, but i would like to make more meaningful contributions, and i  think this could be a good starting point.

I didn't realize that idea was on there. I don't know if it's that
important to get pyglet working. There are better plotting backends
that we could be using.

If you're interested in working on the plotting module, you might want
to look at the new module written by Davide Sandonà
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/23036. You would need to reach
out to him to see if there is any sort of project that can be done
with it and if he would be interested in mentoring it.

If you are going to improve plotting please consider an interface to
Asymptote -

Sure, I will consider it! As i was mentioning in the other reply, i am also going to reach out to Davide Sandonà (since he is responsible for the module) and coordinate with them. Thanks for the help!
