Pandas is a software library written for the Python programming language for data manipulation and analysis. In particular, it offers data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series.
第一次接触Pandas是由于Udacity上的一门数据分析课程“Introduction to Data Science” 的Project需要用Pandas库，所以学习了一下Pandas。Pandas也是基于NumPy和Matplotlib开发的，主要用于数据分析和数据可视化，它的数据结构DataFrame和R语言里的data.frame很像，特别是对于时间序列数据有自己的一套分析机制，非常不错。这里推荐一本书《Python for Data Analysis》，作者是Pandas的主力开发，依次介绍了iPython, NumPy, Pandas里的相关功能，数据可视化，数据清洗和加工，时间数据处理等，案例包括金融股票数据挖掘等，相当不错。

分割线，以上工具包基本上都是自己用过的，以下来源于其他同学的线索，特别是《Python机器学习库》，《23个python的机器学习包》，做了一点增删修改，欢迎大家补充

3. mlpy – Machine Learning Python
mlpy is a Python module for Machine Learning built on top of NumPy/SciPy and the GNU Scientific Libraries.
mlpy provides a wide range of state-of-the-art machine learning methods for supervised and unsupervised problems and it is aimed at finding a reasonable compromise among modularity, maintainability, reproducibility, usability and efficiency. mlpy is multiplatform, it works with Python 2 and 3 and it is Open Source, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

4. MDP：The Modular toolkit for Data Processing
Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP) is a Python data processing framework.
From the user’s perspective, MDP is a collection of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and other data processing units that can be combined into data processing sequences and more complex feed-forward network architectures.
From the scientific developer’s perspective, MDP is a modular framework, which can easily be expanded. The implementation of new algorithms is easy and intuitive. The new implemented units are then automatically integrated with the rest of the library.
The base of available algorithms is steadily increasing and includes signal processing methods (Principal Component Analysis, Independent Component Analysis, Slow Feature Analysis), manifold learning methods ([Hessian] Locally Linear Embedding), several classifiers, probabilistic methods (Factor Analysis, RBM), data pre-processing methods, and many others.
“MDP用于数据处理的模块化工具包，一个Python数据处理框架。 从用户的观点，MDP是能够被整合到数据处理序列和更复杂的前馈网络结构的一批监督学习和非监督学习算法和其他数据处理单元。计算依照速度和内存需求而高效的执行。从科学开发者的观点，MDP是一个模块框架，它能够被容易地扩展。新算法的实现是容易且直观的。新实现的单元然后被自动地与程序库的其余部件进行整合。MDP在神经科学的理论研究背景下被编写，但是它已经被设计为在使用可训练数据处理算法的任何情况中都是有用的。其站在用户一边的简单性，各种不同的随时可用的算法，及应用单元的可重用性，使得它也是一个有用的教学工具。”

5. PyBrain
PyBrain is a modular Machine Learning Library for Python. Its goal is to offer flexible, easy-to-use yet still powerful algorithms for Machine Learning Tasks and a variety of predefined environments to test and compare your algorithms.
PyBrain is short for Python-Based Reinforcement Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Network Library. In fact, we came up with the name first and later reverse-engineered this quite descriptive “Backronym”.
“PyBrain(Python-Based Reinforcement Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Network)是Python的一个机器学习模块，它的目标是为机器学习任务提供灵活、易应、强大的机器学习算法。（这名字很霸气）
PyBrain正如其名，包括神经网络、强化学习(及二者结合)、无监督学习、进化算法。因为目前的许多问题需要处理连续态和行为空间，必须使用函数逼近(如神经网络)以应对高维数据。PyBrain以神经网络为核心，所有的训练方法都以神经网络为一个实例。”

6. PyML – machine learning in Python
PyML is an interactive object oriented framework for machine learning written in Python. PyML focuses on SVMs and other kernel methods. It is supported on Linux and Mac OS X.
“PyML是一个Python机器学习工具包，为各分类和回归方法提供灵活的架构。它主要提供特征选择、模型选择、组合分类器、分类评估等功能。”
