ect: A python package for computing the Euler Characteristic Transform

Python computation tools for computing the Euler Characteristic Transform of embedded graphs.

Description

Right now, the content includes stuff for doing ECT on graphs embedded in 2D. Eventually the goal is to get voxel versions, higher dimensional simplicial complexes, etc in here.

For more information on the ECT, see:

Elizabeth Munch. An Invitation to the Euler Characteristic Transform. arXiv:2310.10395. 2023.
