Requirements
SciDB-Py requires a working SciDB installation, as well as a Shim network interface connected to the instance. It requires Python 2.6-2.7 or 3.3.
Package Dependencies
SciDB-Py has several Python package dependencies:
- NumPy
- tested with version 1.7.
- Requests
- tested with version 1.2. (Note: known failures exist when used with requests version < 1.0) Required for using the Shim interface to SciDB.
- Pandas (optional)
- tested with version 0.10. Required only for importing/exporting SciDB arrays as Pandas Dataframe objects.
- SciPy (optional)
- tested with versions 0.10-0.12. Required only for importing/exporting SciDB arrays as SciPy sparse matrices.
Test Dependencies
- Mock
- Required for some tests
