bats-tda 0.1.0

Python bindings for the Basic Applied Topology Subprograms

BATS.py

Python bindings for the Basic Applied Topology Subprograms (BATS) library. This includes:

• Simplicial, Cubical, and Cell Complexes
• Simplicial, Cubical, and Cellular Maps
• Homology and induced maps
• Persistent homology
• Zigzag homology
• A variety of topolgical constructions

Note that the C++ repository is the main library, and contains more features. This repository provides bindings for a subset of the functionality of BATS, and is under active development.

Documentation, examples, and tutorials can be found at bats-tda.readthedocs.io

Once installed, you can import the bats namespace:

import bats

Installation with pip

The easiest way to install bats is using pip

pip install bats-tda # gcc

To use clang (e.g. on a Mac) try

CC=clang pip install bats-tda # clang

Because bats uses OpenMP, it has to be compiled from source with a C++17 compliant complier. This means installation can take a few minutes. You can pass --verbose to pip to see what is going on with installation.

If you don't have OpenMP, you can install with a package manager.

GCC (e.g. on Linux)

dnf install libgomp-devel # Fedora

apt-get install libgomp1-dev # Ubuntu

Clang (e.g. on Mac)

brew install libomp
