Most of my needs in this area are taken care of by the support for the Cluster library in the optional package biopython, but since I have some interest I tried to make a preliminary spkg:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mhampton/MLPY-2.2.1.p0.spkg Unfortunately although GSL is a standard component of Sage, its header files weren't picked up correctly for some reason. I'm not sure who to ask about this since as far as I know GSL isn't a dependency of other Sage components. -Marshall Hampton On Sep 13, 3:12 am, Minh Nguyen <nguyenmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Pere, > > On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 5:49 PM, Pere Quintana Seguí > > <p...@illadelaire.org> wrote: > > Hello, > > > Do you know if there are any plans to integrate the mlpy library > > (https://mlpy.fbk.eu/) in sage? > > I'm not aware of any such plans.
