clusterPy: Library of spatially constrained clustering algorithms

From the webpage:

Analytical regionalization (also known as spatially constrained clustering) is a scientific way to decide how to group a large number of geographic areas or points into a smaller number of regions based on similarities in one or more variables (i.e., income, ethnicity, environmental condition, etc.) that the researcher believes are important for the topic at hand. Conventional conceptions of how areas should be grouped into regions may either not be relevant to the information one is trying to illustrate (i.e., using political regions to map air pollution) or may actually be designed in ways to bias aggregated results.
