Python wrapper for selected SLICOT routines, notably including solvers for Riccati, Lyapunov and Sylvester equations. Prerequisite: ------------- You will need Numpy, a fortran compiler such as gfortran and BLAS/LAPACK libraries for building Slycot. On Debian derivates you can install all the above with a single command: # apt-get build-dep python-scipy Installing: ----------- Unpack to a directory of your choice, say /path/to/slycot_src/, and execute: $ cd /path/to/slycot_src/ # python setup.py install Where # is for commands that needs to be executed as root/administrator. If the build fails and you are on a 64bit OS you may want to try $ cd /path/to/slycot_src/ $ python setup.py config_fc --arch="-march=x86-64" build # python setup.py install To-Do: ------ - write unit tests - add examples in the doc-strings
