README for NeedlePy

Introduction

NeedlePy is a Python library using NumPy to implement a fast needlet transform. It has been written by Maurizio Tomasi using a literate programming approach and the Noweb tool.

License

NeedlePy is released under a liberal BSD license (the same license used by NumPy and SciPy). See the file LICENSE for the full license.

Supported platforms

NeedlePy has been developed on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, but it can be run also on Linux (and probably any other Unix machine). I am happy to implement patches that allow the library to be used on other systems as well.

Installation

You have to create the needlepy.py file from the Noweb sources in order to use the library. This can be done by running make (or gmake, depending on your platform). Once you have created the file, copy it in any of the directories referenced by your environment variable PYTHONPATH.
