Currently, there is no sparse SVD in SciPy, but I'd love to see something like

http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/svdlibc/

wrapped.  I may even have an application for this, so I wouldn't mind helping.

I've also come across

http://soi.stanford.edu/~rmunk/PROPACK/

but I have no idea which library is best.  I'll send an email to the
authors of SVDPACK as a start.
