Scikit-TDA is a home for Topological Data Analysis Python libraries intended for non-topologists. This project aims to provide a curated library of TDA Python tools that are widely usable and easily approachable.

The structure of these libraries is inspired by the Tidyverse in that each package can stand alone and can be installed individually but each adheres to the same design principles. Further, the most benefit comes from using all of them together. You’ll notice that in many of the examples and notebooks, multiple libraries are used together.

This project is entirely a work in progress and still in an early phase. We hope to assemble an ecosystem of TDA libraries that is approachable to people outside the field of Algebraic Topology, complete with documentation, notebooks, and examples to get you up to speed.

If you would like to contribute, please reach out to us on github by starting a discussion topic, creating an issue, or reaching out on twitter.

Install

Installation of all libraries can be done directly from Pypi in one command.

pip install scikit-tda
