		<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>isympy is a Python shell for SymPy. It is just a normal python shell
        (ipython shell if you have the ipython package installed) that executes
        the following commands so that you don't have to:
    </para>

    <programlisting>
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> from sympy import *
>>> x, y, z = symbols("x,y,z")
>>> k, m, n = symbols("k,m,n", integer=True)
    </programlisting>

    <para>So starting isympy is equivalent to starting python (or ipython) and
    executing the above commands by hand. It is intended for easy and quick
    experimentation with SymPy. For more complicated programs, it is recommended
    to write a script and import things explicitly (using the "from sympy
        import sin, log, Symbol, ..." idiom).</para>

                        if present or python otherwise).</para>
					<para>Example: isympy -c python</para>
                    <para><replaceable class="parameter">SHELL</replaceable> could be either

				<listitem>
					<para>Setup pretty printing in SymPy. By default, the most pretty, unicode
                        printing is enabled (if the terminal supports it). You can use less
                        pretty ASCII printing instead or no pretty printing at all.</para>
					<para>Example: isympy -p no</para>
                    <para><replaceable class="parameter">ENCODING</replaceable> must be one of 'unicode',
                    'ascii' or 'no'.</para>

				<term><option>--types=<replaceable class="parameter">TYPE</replaceable></option></term>
				<listitem>
					<para>Setup the ground types for the polys.  By default, gmpy ground types
                    are used if gmpy2 or gmpy is installed, otherwise it falls back to python
                    ground types, which are a little bit slower.  You can manually
                    choose python ground types even if gmpy is installed (e.g., for testing purposes).</para>

                    <para>Note that sympy ground types are not supported, and should be used
                    only for experimental purposes.</para>

                    <para>Note that the gmpy1 ground type is primarily intended for testing; it the
                    use of gmpy even if gmpy2 is available.</para>

                    <para>This is the same as setting the environment variable
                    SYMPY_GROUND_TYPES to the given ground type (e.g.,
                    SYMPY_GROUND_TYPES='gmpy')</para>

                    <para>The ground types can be determined interactively from the variable
                    sympy.polys.domains.GROUND_TYPES inside the isympy shell itself.</para>

					<para>Example: isympy -t python</para>

                    <para><replaceable class="parameter">TYPE</replaceable> must be one of 'gmpy',
                    'gmpy1' or 'python'.</para>

				<term><option>-o <replaceable class="parameter">ORDER</replaceable></option></term>
				<term><option>--order=<replaceable class="parameter">ORDER</replaceable></option></term>
				<listitem>
					<para>Setup the ordering of terms for printing.  The default is lex, which
                    orders terms lexicographically (e.g., x**2 + x + 1). You can choose
                    other orderings, such as rev-lex, which will use reverse
                    lexicographic ordering (e.g., 1 + x + x**2).</para>

                    <para>Note that for very large expressions, ORDER='none' may speed up
                    printing considerably, with the tradeoff that the order of the terms
                    in the printed expression will have no canonical order</para>

					<para>Example: isympy -o rev-lax</para>

                    <para><replaceable class="parameter">ORDER</replaceable> must be one of 'lex', 'rev-lex', 'grlex',
                    'rev-grlex', 'grevlex', 'rev-grevlex', 'old', or 'none'.</para>

                        equivalent to '<emphasis>isympy -c python -p no</emphasis>'.

                        Disable the caching mechanism.  Disabling the cache may slow certain
                        operations down considerably.  This is useful for testing the cache,
                        or for benchmarking, as the cache can result in deceptive benchmark timings.
                    </para>

                    <para>
                        This is the same as setting the environment variable SYMPY_USE_CACHE
                        to 'no'.

                    <para>
                        Automatically create missing symbols.  Normally, typing a name of a
                        Symbol that has not been instantiated first would raise NameError,
                        but with this option enabled, any undefined name will be
                        automatically created as a Symbol.  This only works in IPython 0.11.
                    </para>
                    <para>
                        Note that this is intended only for interactive, calculator style
                        usage. In a script that uses SymPy, Symbols should be instantiated
                        at the top, so that it's clear what they are.
                    </para>
                    <para>
                        This will not override any names that are already defined, which
                        includes the single character letters represented by the mnemonic
                        QCOSINE (see the "Gotchas and Pitfalls" document in the
                        documentation). You can delete existing names by executing "del
                        name" in the shell itself. You can see if a name is defined by typing
                        "'name' in globals()".
                    </para>
                    <para>
                        The Symbols that are created using this have default assumptions.
                        If you want to place assumptions on symbols, you should create them
                        using symbols() or var().
                    </para>
                    <para>
                        Finally, this only works in the top level namespace. So, for
                        example, if you define a function in isympy with an undefined
                        Symbol, it will not work.
