PyLinear

Update: PyLinear is deprecated. Its place is taken by numpy together with PyUblas and PyUblasExt.

PyLinear is a comprehensive linear algebra library for Python. It wraps Boost UBlas into a Numeric-like shell, while adding bindings to UMFPACK, ARPACK and LAPACK and a collection of home-grown algorithms such as preconditioned CG, preconditioned BiCGSTAB and more. It is mature, but has a few rough edges in the build process. It’s a bit short on the documentation side of things.

Requires Boost.Python, Boost.UBlas, Boost bindings from the Boost sandbox, BLAS, LAPACK, UMFPACK and ARPACK. Many of these dependencies will become optional in a future version. There is also some rudimentary documentation in PDF form, which I hope will be helpful. This package was written as part of my Diplom thesis and considerably extended thereafter.
