I know there have been requests in the past for using pyhton as a scripting language for Asymptote. I wish to give an additional justification for doing so.
My justificatin is sympy (goto sympy.org) which is an extensive well maintained free compute algebra module(s) for python. The objective is to have both the Asymptote graphing/drawing capabilities available in a programming language that has a strong computer algebra capability. The closest software to sympy in c++ is ginac which has nowhere the capability or current support that sympy.
I am hoping the relevant people look at sympy and start a disscusion of add computer algebra capabilities to Asymptote.
