Don't know if this is any use, but to me (not knowing Fortran nearly so well as C++) this looks pretty useful: http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK/arpack++.html http://www.ime.unicamp.br/~chico/arpack++/ It provides a nice high-level interface on top of ARPACK. I could see it being useful on

Here's something I've been wondering: is it ok to port Matlab functions over to python? If so, then it's maybe an afternoon's work to get eigs working, given eigs.m and python Arpack wrappers. I'm 99% sure it would *not* be kosher to copy-paste their code directly, but it's not a copy paste job b
