>>> import maple

>>> import maple.namespace

>>> x,y,diff,dsolve = maple.symbols(x,y,diff,dsolve)

>>> deq = { diff(y(x), x) == y(x), y(0) == 1 }

>>> # It is most natural to use dsolve directly as a function

>>> dsolve( deq );

y(x)=exp(x)

>>> # It may, however, also be used with the expr.methodName syntax

>>> dsolve.__call__( deq );

y(x)=exp(x)
