Description:

The package `python-sympy` has as optional dependency `python-symengine` with the comment
> optimized backend, set USE_SYMENGINE=1 to use

To automate this, I suggest to include files
* /etc/profile.d/use_symengine.sh
* /etc/profile.d/use_symengine.csh
* etc.

that set the environment variable `USE_SYMENGINE=1` if `python-symengine` is installed.

I have attached a suggestion for those files.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.11.1
   use_symengine.sh (0.1 KiB)
   use_symengine.csh (0.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

It's a simple env variable which is trivial to set. This is overkill IMO. This should rather be addressed upstream to use symengine automatically if it is importable.
