This scikit-sparse
a companion to the scipy.sparse library for
sparse matrix manipulation in Python. It provides routines that are
not suitable for inclusion in scipy.sparse proper, usually because
they are GPL'ed.
For more details on usage see the docs.
For pip installs of scikit-sparse
depend on the suite-sparse library which can be installed via:
# mac
brew install suite-sparse
# debian
sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev
Then, scikit-sparse
can be installed via pip:
pip install scikit-sparse
The conda
package comes with suite-sparse
packaged as a dependency so all you need to do is:
conda install -c conda-forge scikit-sparse
The wrapper code contained in this package is released under a 2-clause BSD license, as per below. However, this applies only to the original code contained in this package, and NOT to the libraries (e.g., CHOLMOD) which it uses. These libraries are generally licensed under less permissive licenses, such as the GNU GPL or LGPL, and users of this package are responsible for determining what requirements these licenses impose on their usage. (The intent here is that if you, for example, buy a license to use CHOLMOD in a commercial product, then you can also go ahead and use our wrapper code with your commercial license.)
