SymPy version is outdated

[sylee957]

It is still 1.11.1 in SymPy live.

Regarding some issues with the updates,
I wonder if we can maintain this repository with dependabot

[ivanistheone]

I checked and 1.11.1 is indeed the latest available via micro pip, see https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/packages-in-pyodide.html I believe once they package a new version, the live shell will start using it. I'll keep an eye on this issue to make sure this happens.

Otherwise we might need to upgrade the jupyterlite version (this is what I had to do once in the past so that it picked up the new version).

As for dependabot, I don't think it understands micropip versions... although it would be nice.

Currently SymPy 1.12 is listed there.

It would be good to update to SymPy 1.13 though and also it would be good to have python-flint installed since 0.6.0 is available and SymPy 1.13 can make use of it.

[oscarbenjamin]

I guess we should update the version in pyodide: https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/blob/c81606d9d75007e5fccc7b2c6c7d57cf458aa3db/packages/sympy/meta.yaml#L3

I opened a PR to update the pyodide version of SymPy to 1.13.1: pyodide/pyodide#5098

In the meantime what can be done to get SymPy Live to run 1.12?

[agriyakhetarpal]

Hi all, Pyodide 0.27 released yesterday has now updated SymPy to 1.13.3, and this issue can now be closed by updating the jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel version to 0.4.7 and rebuilding the GitHub Pages deployment with it. Since this is a trivial update, I'm happy to either do this myself or step back if @ivanistheone, as the assignee, would still like to take care of it.

Please see https://github.com/jupyterlite/pyodide-kernel#compatibility and https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/packages-in-pyodide.html for more.

Happy new year!

Let me take a look.

Since this repo based on the jupyterlite/demo repo, I'm going to look at what other changes were made to that repo and apply them too so we are current.

Yey, we live!

Thanks to all who contributed to make this happen, in particular @oscarbenjamin @agriyakhetarpal who got the latest SymPy version into Pyodide.

[oscarbenjamin]

Thanks @ivanistheone and @agriyakhetarpal !

Oh, that is one thing we should do: the version should be displayed automatically somehow. When you run isympy in the terminal it looks like this:

$ isympy
IPython console for SymPy 1.14.dev (Python 3.13.1-64-bit) (ground types: flint)

These commands were executed:
>>> from sympy import *
>>> x, y, z, t = symbols('x y z t')
>>> k, m, n = symbols('k m n', integer=True)
>>> f, g, h = symbols('f g h', cls=Function)
>>> init_printing()

Sounds like a good idea. If I remember correctly, we were discussing this prospect somewhere, but I cannot recall where. I just opened #23 to track it.
