Case Based Reasoning library for Python

Case Based Reasoning the Pythonic Way

Case Based Reasoning library for Python

This library provides the possibility to integrate with native python. Basic implemetation can use instances of Python classes to calculate similarity between those objects.

You can find a sparse description of case base reasoning at the english wikipedia page. Please also take a look at the examples.

A big thanky you to myCBR for the example data.
