Bug#824073: python-sympy: please package the galgebra module (as a separate binary package)

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: python-sympy
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello and thanks again for packaging version 1.0 of sympy
(see bug #819515): the new features work as expected!

The only disadvantage is that the galgebra module has been
taken out.

  $ isympy
  [...]
  In [1]: from sympy.galgebra.printing import *
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
  <ipython-input-1-4c6e4385abba> in <module>()
  ----> 1 from sympy.galgebra.printing import *
  
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sympy/galgebra.py in <module>()
  ----> 1 raise ImportError("""As of SymPy 1.0 the galgebra module is maintained separately at https://github.com/brombo/galgebra""")
  
  ImportError: As of SymPy 1.0 the galgebra module is maintained separately at https://github.com/brombo/galgebra


It would be highly appreciated, if the galgebra module could be packaged
for Debian again, perhaps in a separate binary package.

I hope this can be done.

Thanks for your time and dedication!
Bye.
