I now see that the code itself (i.e. not just the tests) refer
optionally to SciPy. For example:
try:
from scipy.spatial.distance import pdist
except ImportError:
def pdist(*args, **kwargs):
raise ImportError('The fastcluster.linkage function cannot process '
'vector data since the function '
'scipy.partial.distance.pdist could not be '
'imported.')
I think it would be a good idea for python-fastcluster to recommend
python-scipy and python3-fastcluster to recommend python3-scipy.
