Yeah, but that was for C.  Mine is C++.  I thought it would be a little 
different.

So will it work for me?  From what I've told you so far?

It does some CSD.  But the algorithm is specific to quantum computing, 
so I doubt it is in scipy.linalg.  Although I'm not sure how much of 
this code is CSD and how much is other stuff.  It's possible I guess to 
use scipy.linalg and rewrite the supporting stuff in python directly.
