-I am still working actively on !PyDy and will continue to do so as much as
possible. It is my hope that other people who study dynamical systems will
be interested in collaborative efforts to improve and extend PyDy in order
to give it much more functionality. My most pressing goals at the moment
are to use !PyDy to derive the equations of motion for a bicycle model that
I use in my research. This is a notoriously difficult system to model
without making lots of simplifying assumptions, so if PyDy can do it, I am
confident that it can do nearly any system that is thrown its way.

Integrating !PyDy into a !MayaVi / Traits application is on my list of
things to do as well. This would be an amazing way to interact and study a
dynamical system -- visualize it, perform stability analysis, and perform
symbolic manipulations to the equations all within one place.
