Reccage consists of 3 parts.
This is an engine for collaborative filtering, based off the algorithms found within the book Programming Collective Intelligence by Toby Segaran
(http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321)
This is contained in the src. Currently, these are just used in the python
wrappers, but can be used standalone.
These are the wrappers around the C++ Core. They are generated by Cython. The
file pDataSet.pyx (the Cython code) is compiled into pDataSet.cpp.
pDataSet.cpp is committed to the git repo for your convenience, but can be
deleted if you modify pDataSet.pyx. (You will also need the cython package)
To compile the bindings in-place (and not install them), run:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
From the root directory.
To install the bindings as a python package, run (with root):
python setup.py install
from the root directory as well.
Now, you may use Reccage in you python applications by:
import reccage
Reccage is also packaged with an example REST HTTP server (it also has TCP bindings too for more efficient communication)
This is also the easiest way to interract with reccage
The server is located in the reccaged directory.
It depends on the twisted python package. If you don't have it already,
run (with root):
easy_install twisted
You will also need to install the python reccage package as described in the previous section.
To start the server, run:
twistd -ny reccaged.tac
from the reccaged directory.
To verify it works, you may run the test script:
bash tests/booktest.sh localhost:8080
You should see a bunch of JSON print out.
