libdeep-python adds a Python API to the libdeep deep learning library, which is written in C. This allows you to obtain the raw processing speed of native C code while also having the convenience of being able to develop your application in Python. After a system has been trained you can export it as a standalone C commandline program which takes the input values as arguments and outputs the results to stdout.

To install dependencies on a Debian based system:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gnuplot doxygen python3-dev

Or on an Arch based system:

sudo pacman -S gcc gnuplot doxygen

Then install libdeep:

git clone https://github.com/bashrc/libdeep
cd libdeep
make
sudo make install

Finally install the python interface:

git clone https://github.com/bashrc/libdeep-python
cd libdeep-python
make
sudo make install

For example use cases see the examples directory and also the manpage.

man libdeep-python

To check that the system is working you can try the simplest example, which is learning the XOR function.

cd examples/xor
./xor.py
