Will it Python? programs are ports of data analyses originally done in R into Python. The projects are accompanied by a series of blog posts documenting the porting-process. See http://slendrmeans.wordpress.com/will-it-python for more information.
The code is organized into subfolders by translation project. The projects so far are:
- MLFH: Machine Learning for Hackers by Drew Conway and John Myles White.
The code is written for Python 2.7. Third party libraries used in projects are: - Numpy 1.7.0h2 - Scipy 0.11.0 - matplotlib 1.1.2 - pandas 0.9.1 - statsmodels 0.5.0 (dev) - NLTK 2.0.4 - scikit-learn 0.12.1
I'm also using IPython 0.13 to create the IPython notebooks.
These packages will be updated over time. Scripts/notebooks will usually indicate what version of a library they were first coded in. If unspecified, it's usually safe to assume the latest stable version will work.
The earlier chapters contain both IPython notebooks and python scripts of the code. Since I started the project, the IPython notebooks have gained more widespread use, so I'm typically providing only those. From the notebook, it's not difficult to export to a python script, but some code (especially plotting) may not be designed for scripting.
