Is there anything current for Python which handles sparse matrix codes?
If someone is looking for a C implementation of sparse matrix handlers, I would refer to the sparse matrix package developed at Berekeley which is part of the Spice 3f4 circuit simulator (released under a modified old-style BSD license). I can provide pointers if they are desired.
I've done about three Sparse matrix packages built on SPARSEKIT, UMFPACK, and some of my own rolled stuff. SciPy has a subpackage for Sparse matrices, but it is not ready yet. I'd be interested in the package you are talking about. -Travis Oliphant
