vector
An infinite-dimensional vector Python package.
>>> from vector import vecadd
>>> vecadd((1, 2), (4, 5, 6))
(5, 7, 6)
>>>
>>> from vector import Vector
>>> v = Vector((1, 2))
>>> w = Vector((4, 5, 6))
>>> v + w
Vector(5, 7, 6, ...)
>>>
>>> from vector import vecnpadd
>>> vecnpadd((1, 2), ((3, 4, 5),
... (6, 7, 8)))
array([[4, 6, 5],
[7, 9, 8]])
Installation
pip install git+https://github.com/goessl/vector.git
Usage
This package includes
-
general-purpose functions (prefixed
vec...
) in pure Python, -
a clean class (
Vector
) with easy to use syntax, -
improved numpy-routines (prefixed
vecnp...
) for parallelised operations & -
tensor functions (prefixed
ten...
) for multiaxis operations
to handle type-independent, infinite-dimensional vectors. It operates on vectors of different lengths, treating them as infinite-dimensional by assuming that all components after the given ones are zero.
