# mattress

The **mattress** package implements Python bindings to the [**tatami**](https://github.com/tatami-inc) C++ library for matrix representations.
Downstream packages can use **mattress** to develop C++ extensions that are interoperable with many different matrix classes, e.g., dense, sparse, delayed or file-backed.
It is based on the [**beachmat**](https://bioconductor/packages/beachmat) Bioconductor package, which does the same thing for R packages.
