  Description     : Python Spatial Analysis Library

PySAL is an open source library of spatial analysis functions written in
Python intended to support the development of high level applications.

It is important to underscore what PySAL is, and is not, designed to do.
First and foremost, PySAL is a library in the fullest sense of the word.
Developers looking for a suite of spatial analytical methods that they
can incorporate into application development should feel at home using
PySAL. Spatial analysts ho may be carrying out research projects
requiring customized scripting, extensive simulation analysis, or those
seeking to advance the state of the art in spatial analysis should also
find PySAL to be a useful foundation for their work.
.
End users looking for a user friendly graphical user interface for
spatial analysis should not turn to PySAL directly. Instead, we would
direct them to projects like STARS and the GeoDaX suite of software
products which wrap PySAL functionality in GUIs. At the same time, we
expect that with developments such as the Python based plug-in
architectures for QGIS, GRASS, and the toolbox extensions for ArcGIS,
that end user access to PySAL functionality will be widening in the near
future.
