My initial impression is that libkdv is a little too specialized for
inclusion in scipy. It is very focused on geospatial visualization tasks.
libkdv itself, as written, with its pandas dependency, could not become
part of scipy. It's possible that the underlying algorithms might be worked
into a somewhat more general interface that would be in scope for scipy,
but the source code for these algorithms is missing (only demos are on the
Github repo, and the PyPI package only contains binary DLLs of the actual
implementation), so I cannot evaluate the appropriateness of this.
Nonetheless, I strongly suspect that an independent existence or
integration into a larger geospatial analysis package would be more
suitable than adding libkdv to scipy.

Thanks.
