I've indeed opened an issue for this : https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/8090 . Recently, I've included the LAPACK routines into SciPy dev version that will come with version 0.19. Then you can use ?GECON, ?POCON and other ?XXCON routines for yourself or wait a bit more until I have time to implement it on the SciPy side.
@rkern told me that for NumPy, C translations are involved but I couldn't find an entrance point to contribute for yet. It's a bit above my abilities to fully grasp the way of working in NumPy. You can read more in https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/3755 Best, ilhan On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 9:14 PM, Edward Richards <edwardlricha...@gmail.com> wrote: > What is the best way to make sure that a matrix inversion makes any sense > before preforming it?
