Symbol

✓ from sympy import Symbol

Ensure 'sympy' is not shadowed by a local file named 'sympy.py' to avoid import errors.

A simple example to define symbols, create an equation, and solve for a variable using SymPy.

from sympy import symbols, Eq, solve # Define symbols x, y = symbols('x y') # Define an equation equation = Eq(x + y, 10) # Solve the equation solution = solve(equation, x) print(solution)

Debug

Known issues

breakingImportError: cannot import name 'Type' from 'typing'

fix

Ensure Python version is 3.9 or higher, as SymPy 1.14.0 requires Python >=3.9.

affects: 1.14.0

gotchaImportError: cannot import name 'Symbol' from 'sympy.core.symbol'

fix

Avoid naming your script 'sympy.py' to prevent shadowing the SymPy library.

affects: 1.14.0

gotchaRunning pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager.

fix

It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv
