Hi, Yesterday I had the (crazy?) idea or reimplementing sparse in Python. Some personal reasons for doing so: 1) Learn/experiment how to implement some "advanced" data structures in Python 2) Learn more about sparse internals along the way 3) some others I might not remember Attached is a tarball containing the very very initial code. It doesn't do anything useful, but should run without errors. A lot of functions are not implemented yet (I started by sparse_initialize() and going down until the lower level functions). Some notes: - I decided to take a more pragmatic approach and start implementing only those functions necessary for writing a test-*.c like backend - For now I'm just doing a plain manual translation of the sparse C code to Python, thus forcing me to read the entire sparse code (which IMHO is a good thing for achieving reason (2)) - Along the way I'm rewriting some code to become more OO-friendly (with classes, methods etc.), therefore while the code is not finished you will see a lot of mixed procedural and OO code - I'm newbie in Python coding, so be prepared to see some examples of bad coding style :) I cannot guarantee spyparse will have all features from spase (even because I do it in my free time, which is shared with other projects), but right now I'm having a lot of fun working on it! Comments/suggestions are welcome. Regards, -- Anderson Lizardo
