[SciPy-Dev] [ANN] Release of scikit-spatial package

[Andrew Hynes]

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'd also be interested in the comparison between scikit-spatial and
> scipy.spatial. It would probably be useful if you added that, as well as
> the SymPy comparison, to the readme of your repo and/or the first page of
> your docs.

and those in my package. Do you think my code could be added to
scipy.spatial? I'd be happy to go that route instead of maintaining a
scikit.

Thanks,

Andrew
