Just off the cuff I'd guess that the BLACS dependency would make it very difficult to support Scalapack in SciPy proper. On Wed, Oct 4, 2017 at 8:45 AM, marc <marc.barbry@mailoo.org> wrote:
Dear Scipy developers,
We are actually writing a python wrapper for Scalapack that seems to be cruelly missing for computational science with Python. Since Scipy has already wrappers for Blas and Lapack library we are hoping that you could be interested as well in a Scalapack wrapper. In this aim, we used f2py to wrap the routine as it is done in the Blas/Lapack wrapper of Scipy.
The actual code can be found in the following repository, https://gitlab.com/mbarbry/python-scalapack
Since the project just started, only few routines are implemented, but we manage to write a working test with sygv routine. We would like to know if the Scipy community would be interested to merge this wrapper in the Scipy code in the future?
We believe that Scalapack is an important part of the Scientific tools for linear algebra, and that Scipy would only benefit of such wrapper as well than the Scientific community. Contributions to the code are obviously more than welcome.
