        What is PySAL
        --------------
        
        PySAL is an open source cross-platform library of spatial analysis functions
        written in Python. It is intended to support the development of high level
        applications for spatial analysis.
        
        It is important to underscore what PySAL is, and is not, designed to do. First
        and foremost, PySAL is a library in the fullest sense of the word. Developers
        looking for a suite of spatial analytical methods that they can incorporate
        into application development should feel at home using PySAL. Spatial analysts
        who may be carrying out research projects requiring customized scripting,
        extensive simulation analysis, or those seeking to advance the state of the art
        in spatial analysis should also find PySAL to be a useful foundation for their
        work.
        
        End users looking for a user friendly graphical user interface for spatial
        analysis should not turn to PySAL directly. Instead, we would direct them to
        projects like STARS and the GeoDaX suite of software products which wrap PySAL
        functionality in GUIs. At the same time, we expect that with developments such
        as the Python based plug-in architectures for QGIS, GRASS, and the toolbox
        extensions for ArcGIS, that end user access to PySAL functionality will be
        widening in the near future.
