Blaze is the next-generation of NumPy. It is designed as a foundational set of abstractions on which to build out-of-core and distributed algorithms over a wide variety of data sources.

Blaze is a work in progress at the moment. The code is quite a distance from feature complete. The code is released in an effort to start a public discussion with our end users and community.

Many of the dependencies ( llvm, numba, ... ) are non-trivial to install. It is highly recommend that you build Blaze using the Anaconda Python distribution.

Free Anaconda CE is available here: http://continuum.io/anacondace.html .

Using Anaconda's package manager:

$ conda install ply
$ conda install blosc
$ conda install aterm

To build project inside of Anaconda:

$ make build

To build documentation:

$ make docs

To run tests:

$ python setup.py test
