PyWavelets is a free Open Source library for wavelet transforms in Python. Wavelets are mathematical basis functions that are localized in both time and frequency. Wavelet transforms are time-frequency transforms employing wavelets. They are similar to Fourier transforms, the difference being that Fourier transforms are localized only in frequency instead of in time and frequency.
The main features of PyWavelets are:
built-in wavelet filters_ and support for custom waveletsDocumentation with detailed examples and links to more resources is available online at http://pywavelets.readthedocs.org.
For more usage examples see the demo_ directory in the source package.
PyWavelets supports Python_ >=3.10, and is only dependent on NumPy_
(supported versions are currently >= 1.23.0). To pass all of the tests,
Matplotlib_ is also required. SciPy_ is also an optional dependency. When
present, FFT-based continuous wavelet transforms will use FFTs from SciPy
rather than NumPy.
There are binary wheels for Intel Linux, Windows and macOS / OSX on PyPi. If you are on one of these platforms, you should get a binary (precompiled) installation with::
pip install PyWavelets
Users of the Anaconda_ Python distribution may wish to obtain pre-built Windows, Intel Linux or macOS / OSX binaries from the conda-forge channel. This can be done via::
conda install -c conda-forge pywavelets
Several Linux distributions have their own packages for PyWavelets, but these
tend to be moderately out of date. Query your Linux package manager tool for
python-pywavelets, python-wavelets, python-pywt or a similar
package name.
If you want or need to install from source, you will need a working C compiler
(any common one will work) and a recent version of Cython_. Navigate to the
PyWavelets source code directory (containing pyproject.toml) and type::
pip install .
The most recent development version can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/PyWavelets/pywt.
The latest release, including source and binary packages for Intel Linux,
macOS and Windows, is available for download from the Python Package Index.
You can find source releases at the Releases Page.
PyWavelets started in 2006 as an academic project for a master thesis
on Analysis and Classification of Medical Signals using Wavelet Transforms
and was maintained until 2012 by its original developer. In 2013
maintenance was taken over in a new repo <https://github.com/PyWavelets/pywt>)
by a larger development team - a move supported by the original developer.
The repo move doesn't mean that this is a fork - the package continues to be
developed under the name "PyWavelets", and released on PyPi and Github (see
this issue <https://github.com/nigma/pywt/issues/13>_ for the discussion
where that was decided).
All contributions including bug reports, bug fixes, new feature implementations and documentation improvements are welcome. Moreover, developers with an interest in PyWavelets are very welcome to join the development team!
As of 2019, PyWavelets development is supported in part by Tidelift.
