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.

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:
# 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);
Installation
Installation using pip3 tool:

Manual installation using CMake:
# get sources of the pyclustering library, for example, from repository
$ mkdir pyclustering
$ cd pyclustering/
$ git clone https://github.com/annoviko/pyclustering.git .
# generate build files.

# if Makefile has been generated then
$ make pyclustering-shared
# return to parent folder of the pyclustering library
$ cd ../
# install pyclustering library
$ python3 setup.py install
# optionally - test the library
$ python3 setup.py test
Manual installation using Microsoft Visual Studio solution:
- 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 pyclustering-shared project.
- Add pyclustering folder to python path or install it using setup.py
# install pyclustering library
