IPython or not

IPython is currently recommended way of using Abacus as it has all the features, i am planning making many features available without it too but it requires a lot of effort and time so it will have to wait

Project goals

The project is meant to be an interactive algebra calculator with scripting support

There are plenty of things i wanted to add (or may add in the future) like:

• Unit support / conversion, this is kinda supported using sympy units but is not very intuitive and easy to use
• GUI, this is planned but i am putting it off as its not a priority

Python support

Python is considered first class citizen and should always be supported in Abacus, if you encounter python code that doesn't run cause of syntax errors that is a bug and please report it
