I'm trying to solve an equation in python using SymPy. I have a generated equation (something like function = y(8.0-(y**3.0)) which I use with SymPy to create a new equation like this: eq = sympy.Eq(function, 2) which outputs y(8.0-(y**3.0)) == 2. but sympy.solve(eq) doesn't seem to work.
>>> from sympy import Eq, Symbol as sym, solve
>>> y = sym('y')
>>> eqa = Eq(y(8.0-(y**3.0)), 8)
>>> solve(eqa)
Traceback (most recent call last):
