Not in the moment. But I have a question to you: why do you seek for a
CAS in Python? I ask this because I'm interested in such kind of stuff
and secretly working on one, but this is highly experimental, a proof
of the concept work and will probably not provide the amount of
features/packages of a commercial CAS like Mathematica and Maple in a
dozend years. There are also a couple of free CAS like Octave or Yacas,
that do their job. Why do people ask periodically for a CAS in Python
in this place? I'm just curious about it.
