pyclustering is a Python, C++ data mining library (clustering algorithm, oscillatory networks, neural networks). The library provides Python and C++ implementations (via CCORE library) of each algorithm or model. CCORE library is a part of pyclustering and supported only for 32, 64-bit Linux and 32, 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Version: 0.8.x

License: GNU General Public License

E-Mail: pyclustering@yandex.ru

Gitter: https://gitter.im/pyclustering/pyclustering

PyClustering Wiki: https://github.com/annoviko/pyclustering/wiki

Required packages: scipy, matplotlib, numpy, PIL

Python version: >=3.4 (32, 64-bit)

C++ version: >= 14 (32, 64-bit)

Each algorithm is implemented using Python and C/C++ language, if your platform is not supported then Python implementation is used, otherwise C/C++. Implementation can be chosen by ccore flag (by default it is always 'True' and it means that C/C++ is used), for example:

xmeans_instance_1 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20, ccore=True);   # As by default - C/C++ is used
xmeans_instance_2 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20, ccore=False);  # Switch off the core - Python is used

ccore option runs ccore shared library (core of the pyclustering library). The core is maintained for Linux 32, 64-bit and Windows 32, 64-bit.

Installation using pip3 tool:

$ pip3 install pyclustering

Manual installation using GCC:

# get sources of the pyclustering library, for example, from repository
$ mkdir pyclustering
$ cd pyclustering/
$ git clone https://github.com/annoviko/pyclustering.git .

# compile CCORE library (core of the pyclustering library)
# you can specify platform (32-bit: 'ccore_x86', 64-bit: 'ccore_x64')
$ cd pyclustering/ccore
$ make ccore_x64    # compile CCORE for 64-bit
# make ccore_x86    # compile CCORE for 32-bit
# make ccore        # compile CCORE for both platforms if you do not know which is required

# return to parent folder of the pyclustering library
cd ../

# add current folder to python path
PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}

Manual installation using Visual Studio:

1. Clone repository from: https://github.com/annoviko/pyclustering.git
2. Open folder pyclustering/ccore
3. Open Visual Studio project ccore.sln
4. Select solution platform: 'x86' or 'x64'
5. Build 'ccore' project.
6. Add pyclustering folder to python path.
