window-ops
Implementations of window operations such as rolling and expanding.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you have a specific performance bottleneck with rolling or expanding operations on numpy arrays and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The library is stable, permissively licensed, and offers substantial speedups (4x to 78x in the published benchmarks) for its narrow use case. Not recommended if you need active development, broad window function coverage, or integration with pandas DataFrames.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with just two runtime dependencies (numba and numpy).
- Maintenance is dormant—last commit was 2024-06-02 and no release in over 893 days—so expect no active bug fixes or feature development, though the codebase is stable enough for established use cases.

Verify before relying
pip install window-ops
import numpy as np
from window_ops import rolling_mean
arr = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0])
result = rolling_mean(arr, window_size=2)- Whether numba's JIT compilation overhead is acceptable for your use case's array sizes and call patterns.
- Compatibility with newer numpy/numba versions beyond the last tested release date.
What it is and what it does
window-ops wraps numba-compiled functions to compute rolling, expanding, and seasonal window statistics on numpy arrays. It targets the same operations as pandas rolling and expanding methods but trades pandas' flexibility for raw speed on numeric arrays. The library includes both batch transformations (returning an array of the same length as the input) and online classes that maintain state and emit one result per update, useful for streaming or incremental scenarios.
The package depends on numba and numpy; numba's JIT compilation happens at first call. It supports Python 3.6 through 3.10 and is permissively licensed under Apache 2.0. Maintenance is dormant—the last release was in March 2024 and the repository shows no recent activity—so it is stable for existing use cases but will not receive new features or active bug fixes.
Use it for
- Accelerate batch computation of rolling means, max, min, or std on large numeric arrays where pandas is too slow.
- Implement streaming window statistics by using online classes (RollingMean, ExpandingMax, etc.) to update results as new samples arrive.
- Compute seasonal rolling or expanding operations (e.g., 7-day rolling statistics with a seasonal period) on time-series data.
- Replace pandas rolling/expanding calls in performance-critical loops where the overhead of pandas indexing is unacceptable.
