I have a very long expression that I think can be simplified, and I thought sympy would be the perfect way to do it. Unfortunately the formula relies on a couple of integer divides, and I can't find any way to represent those in sympy. >>> x=Symbol('x') >>> (x+1)/2 x/2 + 1/2 Clearly not what I want, 1/2 isn't an integer. >>> (x+1)//2 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for //: 'Add' and 'int' Obviously sympy doesn't handle //. >>> Integer((x+1)/2) # A long list of error messages, ending with ... TypeError: Integer can only work with integer expressions. It seems that Integer is only intended to work on constant numbers, not formulas. There's a function trunc but it doesn't seem to do anything similar to what I want. Is there any way to represent an integer division in sympy? Continue reading...
