This looks neat, but isn't it contributing to the fragmentation of the python numerical ecosystem? We already have Numpy/Scipy/SAGE/SymPy and probably more, do we really need yet another package?

It's built on top of Sage, which is built on top of SciPy.

There is a need for a Mathematica-like syntax parser.
