Requesting update the simplify function

[JJShi92]

Hi,
The simplify function here still calls sympy, which is really time consuming.
Since symengine has already implemented its own simplify function.
Could you please update the simplify function as well as add the refine function here accordingly (symengine/symengine#1520).
Thank you very much

Thanks for reporting this. Although the refine and simplify are not nearly as mature as the ones in sympy, I think we should use the ones in symengine here. If the user wants to use sympy to simplify that would still be possible, by calling sympy directly. I guess this is legacy from a time when symengine didn't have any similar functionality.

How is the status of this enhancement?

I would also appreciate this. What is currently holding this back? Doesn't the simplify function just need to be added in the wrapper?

[rikardn]

Yes, it needs to be added. This also requires the Assumptions class to be added somehow and this might not be as straight forward. Any ideas on how to wrap this for Python?
