I guess Python is not in path after default installation in Windows?\n2) the bundle package installed with similar warnings as above, but after pkg load symbolic and >>syms x it failed, see errormessages below. THEN I noticed that the winwrapy.bat file was missing from the packages/../bin directory. So I copied in the one from the bin directory in the symbolic-2.1.1.dev.zip - and then it works!\nThis must be corrected.\n\n**** from pkg install symbolic-2.1.1.dev.zip ***********\n>> pkg install symbolic-2.1.1.dev.zip\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-R7FAOX:97: @result expected braces.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-R7FAOX:97: Misplaced {.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-R7FAOX:97: Misplaced }.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-R7FAOX:97: @result missing close brace.\nwarning: doc_cache_create: unusable help text found in file 'catalan'\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-noH3OM:97: @result expected braces.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-noH3OM:97: Misplaced {.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-noH3OM:97: Misplaced }.\nC:\\Users\\TOREGA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\octave-help-noH3OM:97: @result missing close brace.\nwarning: doc_cache_create: unusable help text found in file 'eulergamma'\nFor information about changes from previous versions of the symbolic package, run 'news symbolic'.\n>>\n>> syms x\nOctSymPy v2.1.1.dev: this is free software without warranty, see source.\nInitializing communication with SymPy using a popen2() pipe.\nDetected Windows: using \"winwrapy.bat\" to workaround Octave bug #43036\nSome output from the Python subprocess (pid 5004) might appear next.\n\nOctSymPy: Communication established.
