scipy does certainly not depend on Boost. Blitz is used in weave, but I don't know if this is mandatory (and it includes the blitz library); I think that actually, a C++ compiler is not even mandatory. Maybe I am missing something, but why the need for a matrix library for basic neighbors algorithm ?
That's right, I do not have the utility for a fully-fludged matrix library, but basic stuff yes. For a neighbooring algorithm, I can use basic computations, norms, ... Yes, I could program them directly, but if there is already something in scipy, no use to do it again ;) Matthieu
