How do you setup Environment (in Ubuntu) to edit the SymPy?

[Nabeel Valapra]

I just cloned the project into home directory and executed the setup.py from terminal. It set a Package in Python parent directory. I edits the code in home directory which I cloned.
 
When i run file , and import sympy it uses the package parent directory(usr/lib/..../sympy)

   To make changes in the program i have to edit in the  parent directory(usr/lib/..../sympy)

I wanted to override into home/sympy, so that I make the changes and test there in the home directory

 

Get me a solution for this OR Please Explain how you guys do it?

I personally never run setup.py. If you run Python while in the sympy
directory, it will import it from there.

Yea Thanks

You can also run setupegg.py.  See http://docs.sympy.org/latest/install.html#git

This had worked for me.  It useful if you are developing and using Sympy at the same time.
