     Yes, this is the case : a typical user will use "Integral" (etc) 
with a nice and easy GUI, then to reuse the result of the integral for a 
sequence of calculations the user will be compelled to use SymPy directly.

     I will announce SymPy 0.7.1 on Maemo.org Talk with some examples.

         Best regards,

         Roberto
