How To Install python-pyfftw on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-pyfftw
on Debian 10.
What is python-pyfftw
python-pyfftw is:
Pythonic wrapper around FFTW, the speedy FFT library. The ultimate aim is to present a unified interface for all the possible transforms that FFTW can perform.
Both the complex DFT and the real DFT are supported, as well as arbitrary axes of abitrary shaped and strided arrays, which makes it almost feature equivalent to standard and real FFT functions of numpy.fft (indeed, it supports the clongdouble dtype which numpy.fft does not).
pyFFTW is BSD-licensed and should not be confused with python-fftw, a GPL-licensed python module with the same aim of providing python bindings to FFTW3. Or python-gpyfft, which provides bindings to the OpenCL FFT library clFFT.
This package provides the Python 2 bindings.
