[Matrix-SIG] Sparse objects

[Henk Jansen]

In the "old" Fortran days, I did some work using Yousef Saad's SPARSEKIT (2)
sparse matrix (source) library. He was supporting most  (appr. 10) of the
formats most commonly used. They were all pretty well described in the
documentation. It may pay off having a look at it. (I think it's available on
Netlib).

It may even well be possible to rewrite (or translate, f2c?) his code in C,
write a NumPy wrapper around it, and go (provided permissions allow this to do).

Regards,

Henk.
