Learn how to install python-symeig on Debian 10 with this tutorial. python-symeig is Symmetrical eigenvalue routines for NumPy

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python-symeig on Debian 10.

What is python-symeig

python-symeig is:

A Python wrapper for the LAPACK functions to solve the standard and generalized eigenvalue problems for symmetric (hermitian) positive definite matrices. Those specialized algorithms give an important speed-up with respect to the generic LAPACK eigenvalue problem solver used by NumPy (linalg.eig and linalg.eigh).

This is dummy transitional package – please use scipy’s scipy.linalg.eigh for symeig functionality.
