I'm happy to announce PyEigen, a new linear algebra module for Python
that's many times faster than existing solutions. Notably, PyEigen is
about 10x faster than NumPy for 4x4 matrix multiplication and 4x
faster than cgkit 1.2.0, the fastest current solution.

About
=====

PyEigen is a Python wrapper for the C++ linear algebra library Eigen.

PyEigen is currently considered PRE-ALPHA quality software and has not
been widely tested outside the unit tests. The API is not stable yet
and might change between releases without warning. Testing and all
kinds of feedback are welcome however! Compatibility reports with
different operating systems, compilers and Python versions are
especially welcome.

Features
========

The first release of PyEigen includes basic support for fixed-size
vectors (2-4-dimensional) and matrices (2x2, 3x3 and 4x4).
