Hi all, I have written a small function to compute the Kronecker sum of two matrices. Could this be added to basic.py as an addition to linalg.kron ? Nils

I hope Nils won't mind my hijacking his threads: What's the state of those famous scikits that had been suggested (where you could install only the packages you want from scipy without getting the whole shebang) ? Corollary: Is there a proper (most prefered) way to post small functions, classes or whole modules on scipy.org ? Like a cheeseshop ?

That's not what scikits is intended to be. scikits would be an entirely separate package. Allowing subpackages of scipy to be separately installable is another effort, and one that is stalled. The approach I took didn't pan out.

Write up a wiki page about it and attach the file to the page. If there's more than one file (say you want a README or a LICENSE or even a test suite), go ahead and use the Python Package Index and write up a wiki page on scipy.org . -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

What went wrong, if I may ask /

OK. Is there any scipy specific template that should be foloowed ?

I'll explain later when I have more time.

For which approach? For putting a module on the Package Index, just follow the standard guidelines for any Python module; just don't try to call it scipy.mymodule or something similar. Although your module may depend on scipy, there's no way for it to "integrate" into the scipy packaging as yet except by being explicitly added to the SVN repository. For dropping something on the wiki, look at the various Cookbook pages for examples: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
