Description

See my stackoverflow question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71550468/does-python-have-an-analogue-to-rs-splinesns

I am thinking that there is not current way to make this happen in patsy.

I am requesting a feature for a ns function much like the cr function, but where ns matches the behavior of R's splines::ns

Research direction

Start by reviewing patsy's existing cr function and the linked Stack Overflow question. Compare the requested ns behavior with R's splines::ns, then determine the project's relevant tests or formula entry points. Done means patsy provides an ns function whose behavior matches the requested R analogue.
