Install

Public release path

De-Time 0.1.0 is published as the de-time distribution.

pip install de-time

For optional multivariate backends such as MVMD and MEMD:

pip install "de-time[multivar]"

Naming notes

  • Product name: De-Time
  • Distribution name: de-time
  • Canonical import: detime
  • Legacy compatibility import: tsdecomp

Do not install the unrelated detime package from PyPI when you want this project.

Editable install

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e .[dev]

Native extension behavior

De-Time ships native kernels for selected flagship methods. If the native extension is unavailable, the package keeps working and falls back to the Python implementations when a fallback exists.

Compatibility alias

The preferred import is detime. The legacy compatibility contract is limited to:

  • top-level import tsdecomp
  • the tsdecomp executable
  • python -m tsdecomp

Transition-era submodules such as tsdecomp.backends, tsdecomp.leaderboard, and tsdecomp.methods.* are intentionally not shipped in install artifacts.

Release record

The first public release is 0.1.0, tagged as de-time-v0.1.0 on April 8, 2026. Release notes live in the GitHub release/tag record and in CHANGELOG.md.
