libpysal offers four modules that form the building blocks in many upstream packages in the PySAL family:
Spatial Weights: libpysal.weights
Input-and output: libpysal.io
Computational geometry: libpysal.cg
Built-in example datasets libpysal.examples
Details are available in the libpysal api.
For background information see [RA07].
libpysal development is hosted on github.
Discussions of development occurs on the developer list as well as gitter.
