+py-hcluster library provides Python functions for
+agglomerative clustering. Its features include
+* generating hierarchical clusters from distance matrices
+* computing distance matrices from observation vectors
+* computing statistics on clusters
+* cutting linkages to generate flat clusters
+* and visualizing clusters with dendrograms.
+
+The interface is very similar to MATLAB's Statistics
+Toolbox API to make code easier to port from MATLAB to
+Python/Numpy. The core implementation of this library
+is in C for efficiency.
