 === Symbolic package ===
-Octave's [https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy Symbolic package] handles symbolic computing and other CAS tools.  The main component of Symbolic is a pure m-file class "@sym" which uses the Python package [https://www.sympy.org SymPy] to do (most of) the actual computations.  The package aims to expose the full functionality of SymPy while also providing a high-level of compatibility with the Matlab Symbolic Math Toolbox.  The Symbolic package requires communication between Octave and Python.  Recently, a GSoC2016 project successfully re-implemented this communication using the new [https://bitbucket.org/mtmiller/pytave Pytave tool].

-This project proposes to go further: instead of using Pytave only for the communication layer, we'll use it throughout the Symbolic project.  For example, we might make "@sym" a subclass of "@pyobject".  We also could stop using the "python_cmd" interface and use Pytave directly from methods.  The main goal was already mentioned: to expose the *full functionality* of SymPy.  For example, we would allow OO-style method calls such as "f.diff(x)" instead of "diff(f, x)".

 === Using Python within Octave ===
-[https://bitbucket.org/mtmiller/pytave Pytave] allows one to call Python functions and interact with Python objects from within Octave .m file code and from the Octave command line interface.  Ideally, Pytave will not be a separate project, but rather a core feature of Octave.  This project aims to improve Pytave with the goal of merging the code into the core Octave code base.
+[[Pythonic]] allows one to call Python functions and interact with Python objects from within Octave .m file code and from the Octave command line interface.  Pythonic may eventually not be a separate package, but rather a core feature of Octave.  This project aims to improve Pythonic with the goal of making the package more stable, maintainable, and full-featured.
-Based on a previous summer project related to Pytave, this work will consist of fast-paced collaborative software development based on tackling the [https://bitbucket.org/mtmiller/pytave/issues?status=new&status=open pytave issue list].  You would also be expected to participate in software design decisions and discussion, as well as improve documentation, doctests and unit tests.  As an example of the sorts of decision decisions being made, note that Octave indexes from 1 whereas Python typically indexes from 0; in which cases is it appropriate to make this transparent to the user?
