[SciPy-dev] [scikits] svm and pyem now available in scikits.learn

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    In short: for people who need to use svm (SVM) and pyem (Gaussian 
Mixture Models) from the scipy.sandbox, they are now available and 
working in scikits.learn package.

    - Getting the code : svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scikits/trunk/learn
    - Importing the toolboxes : they both reside in the 
scikits.learn.machine namespace, that is "from scipy.sandbox import svm" 
becomes "from scikits.learn.machine import svm" and so on.

Anything which does not work as before is a bug, and should be filled as 
such on the scikits trac system (http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scikits/).

    For the curious, the learn namespace will soon contain some code to 
load/pre process/manipulate datasets and some basic learner based on the 
above algoritms,

    cheers,

    David
