NAME

6       isympy - interactive shell for SymPy
7

SYNOPSIS

9       isympy [-c | --console]
10       isympy [ {-h | --help} | {-v | --version} ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       isympy  is  a  Python shell for SymPy. It is just a normal python shell
14       (ipython shell if you have the ipython package installed) that executes
15       the following commands so that you don't have to:
16
17       >>> from __future__ import division
18       >>> from sympy import *
19       >>> x, y, z = symbols("xyz")
20       >>> k, m, n = symbols("kmn", integer=True)
21
22
23       So  starting  isympy  is equivalent to starting python (or ipython) and
24       executing the above commands by hand. It is intended for easy and quick
25       experimentation with SymPy. For more complicated programs, it is recom‐
26       mended to write a script and import things explicitly (using the  "from
27       sympy import sin, log, Symbol, ..." idiom).

OPTIONS

30       -c shell, --console=shell
31              Use  the  specified shell (python or ipython) as console backend
32              instead of the default one (ipython if present or python  other‐
33              wise).
34
35              Example: isympy -c python

FILES

39              Saves  the  history  of  commands when using the python shell as
40              backend.
