Description:

python-cluster is a "simple" package that allows to create several groups
(clusters) of objects from a list. It's meant to be flexible and able to
cluster any object. To ensure this kind of flexibility, you need not only to
supply the list of objects, but also a function that calculates the similarity
between two of those objects. For simple datatypes, like integers, this can be
as simple as a subtraction, but more complex calculations are possible. Right
now, it is possible to generate the clusters using a hierarchical clustering
and the popular K-Means algorithm. For the hierarchical algorithm there are
different "linkage" (single, complete, average and uclus) methods available.
