Re: [sympy] want contribute to sympy

[Aaron Meurer]

SymPy 0.7.1 is an older version. The newest one is 0.7.2, which is
also the only one to support Python 3.2 (make sure to get the correct
tarball if you want to use Python 3).

If you want to help develop SymPy, you'll need to get the git version.
See https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/development-workflow for an
extensive guide (or just
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Getting-the-bleeding-edge will
tell you how to get the git version). Also, we develop in Python 2 and
translate to Python 3 using 2to3, so if you don't have Python 2,
you'll need to get that too.

Adding to what Aaron said, I would say that writing random scripts using SymPy helps. We know our strengths in Physics/Mathematics. Try to develop code relating to those areas, and as you get comfortable with the methods and classes, you start getting ideas about things that could be fixed/added to the code. Happy coding :-)

Hi

I was suffering from the same problem. There is some confusion with the version. here is a simple solution. go to http://www.python.org/download/ page and download 

"Python 2.7.3 Windows Installer". you will get a exe file. install it. then go to http://code.google.com/p/sympy/downloads/list . select and download "sympy-0.7.2.rc1.win32.exe" which is the sympy version for python 2 . you will get an executable file and install it. then you can go start --> all programs --> Python 2.7. open the console and import sympy library. For additional details download sympy-0.7.2-py3k.pdf pdf from http://code.google.com/p/sympy/downloads/list.
