SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics,

|
|
|
science, and engineering.

The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many
|
|
|
|
|
user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for
|
|
|
|
|
numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular
|
|
|
|
|
operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy
|
|
|
|
|
and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by
|
|
|
|
|
some of the world's leading scientists and engineers.

matplotlib and ipython are nice to have in connection with scipy, but scipy
|
|
|
|
|
does not depend on them.

Since ver. 0.14.0 scipy uses SuperLU instead of UMFPACK for solving unsymmetric
|
|
|
|
|
sparse linear systems. If you want to use UMFPACK you must install it in advance
|
|
|
|
|
of numpy and build numpy accordingly (see the README to numpy's SlackBuild).
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, after installing scipy, you have to install scikit-umfpack, which
|
|
|
|
|
presently is not available on SlackBuilds.org.

If you need to build scipy for debugging, set DEBUG=y.

NOTE: If you use this SlackBuild scipy will run with the python version
|
|
|
|
|
provided by Slackware Linux, which is presently 2.7.xx. If you'd like to
|
|
|
|
|
use python 3.x then you have to install scipy3.
