Reverend is a general purpose Bayesian classifier

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 08:00:18 +0000

Reverend is a general purpose Bayesian classifier, named after Rev. Thomas Bayes. Use the Reverend to quickly add Bayesian smarts to your app. To use it in your own application, you either subclass Bayes or pass it a tokenizing function. Bayesian fun has never been so quick and easy. Many thanks for Christophe Delord for his well written PopF. Orange also looks good. If you are looking for a spam filter take a look at SpamBayes? and POPFile.

Developing Django apps with zc.buildout

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:21:04 +0000

Developing Django apps with zc.buildout: "Over the weekend I put together django-shorturls, the latest in a series of small plugable Django apps I’ve written. This time, though, I used zc.buildout and djangorecipe to build, test, package, and distribute the app, and (with the exception of a few annoyances) it’s an exceedingly civilized way to develop an app. In the interest of helping improve Buildout’s still-nascent documentation, I documented my steps along the way. So, here’s how build, test, and distribute a reusable Django app using Buildout, with every step along the way explained in excruciating detail."

Simple JSON serialization for Python

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:17:37 +0000

jsonpickle is a library that allows any Python object to be serialized into JSON. While simplejson only serializes primitive objects, jsonpickle handles most Python objects. jsonpickle recursively examines Python objects and collections (dictionaries, lists, tuples, and sets), and converts non primitive objects to a primitive version.
