Curious - add to scipy.spatial.transform?

[yw5aj]

Dear Matthew,

First of all, sorry if it is not the appropriate place to put this question!

I have been using transforms3d for a few years and really enjoyed it. Thank you (and Christopher) for such a nice package!

I just noticed that scipy has a module of scipy.spatial which seems to me is trying to do the same kind of work. I know you probably know this better than I do - being curious, have we considered adding transforms3d to be a sub-module of scipy? scipy might be more widely known and therefore more people can potentially benefit from it!

Best,
Shawn

So sorry to be slow to get back to you. I actually haven't looked carefully at the Scipy modules - have you? Is there a particular part of Transforms 3D you were thinking of?

At least when looking at the docs of scipy.spatial.transform it seems they only support rotations. An advantage of scipy is the cython implementation which is likely to be faster than transforms3d's functionality. However, transforms3d allows more than rotation: zooms / shears / translations etc.
