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 Linux, Windows and MacOS operating systems.

scikit-learn: machine learning library for the Python. It features various classification, regression and clustering algorithms.
ELKI: data mining software written in Java. The focus of ELKI is research in algorithms, with an emphasis on unsupervised methods in cluster analysis and outlier detection.
Required packages: scipy, matplotlib, numpy, Pillow
Python version: >=3.5 (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 the Python implementation is used, otherwise C/C++. The implementation can be chosen by ccore flag (by default it is always 'True' and it means that the C/C++ implementation is used), for example:
# As by default - C/C++ is used
xmeans_instance_1 = xmeans(data_points, start_centers, 20, ccore=True);
# The same - C/C++ 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);ccore option runs ccore shared library (core of the pyclustering library). The core is maintained for Linux, Windows and MacOS.
Installation using pip3 tool:
$ pip3 install pyclusteringManual 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 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:
- Clone repository from: https://github.com/annoviko/pyclustering.git
- Open folder pyclustering/ccore
- Open Visual Studio project ccore.sln
- Select solution platform: 'x86' or 'x64'
- Build 'ccore' project.
- Add pyclustering folder to python path.
