Re: Symbolic package 2.7.0

[Marius Schamschula]

Colin,

It looks like the PYTHON env variable is no longer set at install time. In the 
previous version I could specify which version of Python and sympy I wanted to 
use.

In MacPorts, where there are typically multiple Python versions installed - 
never mind the macOS version (which symbolic seems to default to),  this means 
that the user has to either set PYTHON in .octaverc or at the prompt for each 
octave session.
