Thanks for your response, Christian. I experimented with the package. FYI, there’s a problem with the pypi arff reader. The package claims to handle numbers but it seems to encode everything (including numbers) as strings, like this:
[['blonde' '17.2' '1' 'yes'] ['blue' '27.2' '2' 'yes'] ['blue' '18.2' '3' ’no’]] I’ve been using Lars Buitinck’s arff reader (thanks Lars!) which does numerical encodings, which are necessary for most of scikits-learn.
