Simple REST service around SymPy. Will it be useful?

[Roman Kuzmin]

Hello everyone,

At first, thank you for the great product.

My question is following:

In our company we have developed a simple REST service around SymPy to allow external tools using SymPy from languages other than python.

The question is: will such a project be useful for the community?

If yes, what we should do to make it available for those who need it? (We are ready to publish it, using the same license as SymPy uses).

Now let me introduce myself (according to your contribution guide).

My name is Roman Kuzmin and I am a software engineer and CEO of small software development company.

Here is the information about me:

    - level of familiarity with python (years of programming, previous projects): 

          Casual.I have 20+ years of development in other programming languages.But used python only in couple of projects, e.g. this one https://sentiment-analysis.io
    - mathematical education level

          I have master degree in mathematics and computer science
    - particular expertise

          Software engineering, algorithms

    - particular algorithmic interests

          Big data analysis, neural networks, CAS

    - level of familiarity with symbolic math systems "computer algebra". Perhaps even course work in (say) algebra or books read.

          Our company participates in development intellectual system for teaching Calculus. It is not CAS, but it is related

    - your familiarity with SymPy (e.g. how have you used SymPy)?

          We have our own product - online math editor, which understands semantics. We have integrated it with SymPy. The project, I mentioned above, is used by the editor, but it is completely standalone project.
    - other possibly relevant information -- geographical location? native language?

          We are Russian company located in Novosibirsk scientific center.

Well... REST sounds more like a WebApp project. There are many other ways to call local Python libraries on a computer. There is SymEngine (SymPy's core rewritten in C++), which can be bound to other languages.

There are many people using web apps, so I guess there will be people interested in it.

If yes, what we should do to make it available for those who need it? (We are ready to publish it, using the same license as SymPy uses).

Of course, you are welcome to share your code.
