Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous stuff that doesn’t really fit anywhere else.

sympy.utilities.misc.debug(*args)

Print *args if SYMPY_DEBUG is True, else do nothing.

sympy.utilities.misc.debug_decorator(func)

If SYMPY_DEBUG is True, it will print a nice execution tree with arguments and results of all decorated functions, else do nothing.

sympy.utilities.misc.find_executable(executable, path=None)

Try to find ‘executable’ in the directories listed in ‘path’ (a string listing directories separated by ‘os.pathsep’; defaults to os.environ[‘PATH’]). Returns the complete filename or None if not found

sympy.utilities.misc.rawlines(s)

Return a cut-and-pastable string that, when printed, is equivalent to the input. The string returned is formatted so it can be indented nicely within tests; in some cases it is wrapped in the dedent function which has to be imported from textwrap.

Examples

Note: because there are characters in the examples below that need to be escaped because they are themselves within a triple quoted docstring, expressions below look more complicated than they would be if they were printed in an interpreter window.

>>> from sympy.utilities.misc import rawlines
>>> from sympy import TableForm
>>> s = str(TableForm([[1, 10]], headings=(None, ['a', 'bee'])))
>>> print(rawlines(s)) # the \ appears as \ when printed
(
    'a bee\n'
    '-----\n'
    '1 10 '
)
>>> print(rawlines('''this
... that'''))
dedent('''\
    this
    that''')

>>> print(rawlines('''this
... that
... '''))
dedent('''\
    this
    that
    ''')

>>> s = """this
... is a triple '''
... """
>>> print(rawlines(s))
dedent("""\
    this
    is a triple '''
    """)

>>> print(rawlines('''this
... that
...     '''))
(
    'this\n'
    'that\n'
    '    '
)
