Warning - Attention Users
=========================

**Please be aware that the `pyclustering` library is no longer supported as of 2021 due to personal reasons. There will be no further maintenance, issue addressing, or feature development for this repository.**

**For continued usage, I recommend seeking alternative solutions.**

**Thank you for your understanding.**

PyClustering
============

**pyclustering** is a Python, C++ data mining library (clustering
algorithm, oscillatory networks, neural networks). The library provides
Python and C++ implementations (C++ pyclustering library) of each algorithm or
model. C++ pyclustering library is a part of pyclustering and supported for
Linux, Windows and MacOS operating systems.

**Version**: 0.11.dev

**License**: The 3-Clause BSD License

**E-Mail**: pyclustering@yandex.ru

**Documentation**: https://pyclustering.github.io/docs/0.10.1/html/

**Homepage**: https://pyclustering.github.io/

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



Dependencies
============

**Required packages**: scipy, matplotlib, numpy, Pillow

**Python version**: >=3.6 (32-bit, 64-bit)

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



Performance
===========

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:

.. code:: python

    # As by default - C/C++ part of the library is used
    xmeans_instance_1 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20, ccore=True);

    # The same - C/C++ part of the library is used by default
    xmeans_instance_2 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20);

    # Switch off core - Python is used
    xmeans_instance_3 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20, ccore=False);

    # generate build files.
    $ mkdir build
    $ cmake ..

    # build pyclustering-shared target depending on what was generated (Makefile or MSVC solution)
    # if Makefile has been generated then
    $ make pyclustering-shared

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

    # install pyclustering library

2. Open folder `pyclustering/ccore`
3. Open Visual Studio project `ccore.sln`
4. Select solution platform: `x86` or `x64`
5. Build `pyclustering-shared` project.
6. Add pyclustering folder to python path or install it using setup.py
