- krastanov 13y agoSympy for interactive use is usually meant to be used with ipython, where it gets a nicely rendered latex output.
- DougMerritt 13y agoNot sure what your point is; Maxima also generates LaTeX. E.g. randomly googled: http://hippasus.com/resources/symmath/maximatypeset.html http://hippasus.com/resources/symmath/maximatypeset.html Since Maxima was once world class, I would be surprised if Sympy has surpassed it yet, but I'm out of touch. Here's a comparison I just found: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/SymPy-vs.-Maxima https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/SymPy-vs.-Maxima Sympy is presumably desirable if you're already using Python heavily.

- ivan_ah 13y agoThe sympy version at http://live.sympy.org http://live.sympy.org renders things nicely with in LaTeX (MathJax), though to be honest I prefer the plain ascii output so that I can copy-paste expressions more easily.
