This package implements sparse arrays of arbitrary dimension on top of numpy and scipy.sparse. Sparse array is a matrix in which most of the elements are zero. python-sparse generalizes the scipy.sparse.coo_matrix and scipy.sparse.dok_matrix layouts, but extends beyond just rows and columns to an arbitrary number of dimensions. Additionally, this project maintains compatibility with the numpy.ndarray interface rather than the numpy.matrix interface used in scipy.sparse. These differences make this project useful in certain situations where scipy.sparse matrices are not well suited, but it should not be considered a full replacement. It lacks layouts that are not easily generalized like compressed sparse row/column(CSR/CSC) and depends on scipy.sparse for some computations.
