Is there any GUI for SymPy one could easily use to solve symbolic math like Maple/Maxima/Macsyma?

You can run it in Jupyter notebook. They have a lightweight implementation of that at https://live.sympy.org/ but the closest counterpart to Maple would probably be SageMath, which includes sympy and a lot more. https://www.sagemath.org/

JupyterLite's default Python-compiled-to-WASM build has NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, and SymPy installed; so you can do computer algebra with SymPy in a browser tab.

https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite/tree/main/py/jupy... :

> Initial support for interactive visualization libraries such as: altair, bqplot, ipywidgets, matplotlib, and plotly

You might find SymPy Gamma interesting: https://www.sympygamma.com

Not sure what you mean with GUI, but you can use it with Jupyter notebooks.

More like writing/clicking math (like in MS Word or some LaTeX editors) that is then converted to SymPy instead of writing stuff in Python directly.

It should be relatively straightforward to build something with Visualequation, latex2sympy, SymPy, and maybe IPython's QTConsole.

Edit: That might be overcomplicating things, there are already better alternatives: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/57068/wysiwyg-latex-...

Would Jupyter do the trick? https://jupyter.org/
