Whoa ... nice one, that's much neater code than my attempt. It's an
interesting way it has been implemented though. I wonder if someone can
explain the logic of having a class that needs the mother wavelet fed in as
an argument rather than subclassing?

I shall work on improving that code, I can implement more and more general
Mother wavelets and also write some examples and update the plotting
routine to use mpl's make_axes_locatable if people think that is a better
way to go.

I shall send the original author an email, to talk to him about it.

 The DWT is exactly the kind of tool SciPy needs.   The goal would not be

I agree that wavelet transforms, both DWT and CWT, are well within SciPy's
scope, if we could integrate pyWavelets into SciPy that would be great. It
does beg the question though, if that is the path we are going down would
it be better to implement a CWT in the same style as pyWavelets to have
uniformity in use if they are both integrated in SciPy.
