[R-sig-Geo] Geographic/Spatial Clustering - pyCluster for R?

[Mark R Payne]

Hi,

I have recently stumbled across the pyCluster package in Python that does
Geographical/Spatial clustering i.e. aggregating spatial pixels/polygons
together based on both their "similarity" and being geographical neighbours
- see here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clusterPy/0.9.9

Does anyone know of an interface to use this library in R, or an
implementation of similar tools in R?

The clustering algorithms availabe in the package are:

   - Arisel [Duque_Church2004]
   <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clusterPy/0.9.9#duque-church2004>:
   - AZP [Openshaw_Rao1995]
   <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clusterPy/0.9.9#openshaw-rao1995>:
   - AZP-Simulated Annealing [Openshaw_Rao1995]
   <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clusterPy/0.9.9#openshaw-rao1995>.
   - AZP-Tabu [Openshaw_Rao1995]

   - AZP-R-Tabu [Openshaw_Rao1995]

   .
