Currently, the main driver function train accepts file path as an argument to fetch dataset from user-specified location and identifies file type associated with the file.

Enhancement:
provide user a flexibility by providing support to accept pandas.Dataframe object has an argument to train function and must support other follow up functions inside driver function.

@balamurugan1603 done, the task is assigned to you. Yes, the files you mentioned are correct.

Currently the program creates a Pandas DataFrame based on a file that is passed as a parameter to the train function. However, users may want to create the DataFrame from say a Database and not from a file. We thereby need to extend functionality to allow a DataFrame to be passed directly into the blobcity.train(df, target) function.

sure I will do it and another silly off-topic doubt. If I submit a pull request by now, will it count towards hacktoberfest? Sorry to ask this.

[sanketsarang]

No, it won't count. You have to generate the PR only after 01 Oct, once it is live. Would suggest waiting till then.

Fine. Thanks.
