[SciPy-Dev] [Feature Request] Generalized Schur decomposition

[Bruno André Rodrigues Coelho]

I was aware of pymaclab, but I don't really now how to use it and I'm
not sure I could contribute
right now, I'm still a beginner with Python. My thesis advisor uses
Sims' functions to solve
DSGE models and what I want to do is translate that into Python and
then Cython to gain speed
(he also wrote some function to estimate the model using Bayesian
inference and compute irfs
that I'll need to translate too).
