  Description     : Fast computation of persistent homology of flag complexes

Ripser computes persistent homology of flag complexes (such as
Vietoris-Rips complexes) only, allowing significant gains in
computation time and memory usage.

See https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.02518.

The package is widely used in the field of topological data
analysis. It is mature, slow-moving and has very few dependencies. I
will be maintaining the package for myself. I would currently need a
sponsor, but I am in the process of becoming a DD.
