patsy 0.5.2

A Python package for describing statistical models and for building design matrices.

# Patsy

Notice: patsy is no longer under active development. As of August 2021, Matthew Wardrop (@matthewwardrop) and Tomás Capretto (@tomicapretto) have taken on responsibility from Nathaniel Smith (@njsmith) for keeping the lights on, but no new feature development is planned. The spiritual successor of this project is [Formulaic](https://github.com/matthewwardrop/formulaic), and we recommend those interested in new feature development contribute there. Those whose use-cases continue to be met by patsy can continue using this package with increased confidence that things will continue to work as is for the foreseeable future.

Patsy is a Python library for describing statistical models (especially linear models, or models that have a linear component) and building design matrices. Patsy brings the convenience of [R](http://www.r-project.org/) “formulas” to Python.
