sparsecore has been renamed to sparselab

This PyPI project (sparsecore) has been renamed. The library you probably want is now called sparselab:

• New PyPI project: https://pypi.org/project/sparselab/
• New GitHub repo: https://github.com/DarshanFofadiya/sparselab
• Migration notes: https://github.com/DarshanFofadiya/sparselab/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

To install:

pip uninstall sparsecore
pip install sparselab

Replace import sparsecore with import sparselab in your code. All public API symbols (PaddedCSR, spmm, SparseLinear, SparsityAlgorithm, SET, RigL, Static) are unchanged.

Why the rename?

The name sparsecore collided with Google's TPU SparseCore hardware block (documented in OpenXLA, Keras, and Google Cloud since 2020). Sharing a name with a well-established Google hardware product made long-term disambiguation permanently awkward.

Old pins still work

If you depended on sparsecore==0.1.0 or sparsecore==0.1.1, those releases are still available on PyPI and still function normally. This 0.1.2 release is a placeholder whose only purpose is to raise ImportError on import, pointing new users at the renamed project.
