@Jaques Grobler: I ran the libsvm GUI code on the sklearn version 13.1
it was giving error importing - "from sklearn.externals.six.move import
xrange". But I commented the above line and it is working just fine.

As you have suggested GUI example might not really be that necessary.
Illustrating difference with plots would also be good enough.

Thanks a lot to Peter for the link.
