• How to install pyLint as an external tool in IntelliJ.
•  How to find out where your python modules are installed:

  C:\Windows\system32>pip3 show pylint
  Name: pylint
  Version: 1.6.5
  Summary: python code static checker
  Home-page: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint
  Author: Python Code Quality Authority
  Author-email: code-quality@python.org
  License: GPL
  Location: c:\users\philip.feldman\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\lib\site-packages
  Requires: colorama, mccabe, astroid, isort, six

• Looking at building scikit DBSCAN clusterer. I think the plan will be to initially use TF as IO. read in the protobuf and eval() out the matrix to scikit. Do the clustering in scikit, and then use TF to write out the results. Since TF and scikit are very similar, that should aid in the transfer from Python to TF, while allowing for debugging and testing in the beginning. And we can then benchmark.

• Working on running the scikit.learn plot_dbscan example, and broke the scipy install. Maybe use the Windows installers? Not sure what that might break. Will try again and follow error messages first.
• This looks like the fix: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28190534/windows-scipy-install-no-lapack-blas-resources-found
  • Sorry to necro, but this is the first google search result. This is the solution that worked for me:
    1. Download numpy+mkl wheel from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy. Use the version that is the same as your python version (check using python -V). Eg. if your python is 3.5.2, download the wheel which shows cp35
    2. Open command prompt and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the wheel. Run the command: pip install [file name of wheel]
    3. Download the SciPy wheel from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy (similar to the step above).
    4. As above, pip install [file name of wheel]
• got a new error where

  TypeError: unorderable types: str() < int()

  • After some searching, here’s the SO answer
  • Changed line 406 from fixes.py from:

    if np_version < (1, 12, 0):

    into

    if np_version < (1, 12):

  • Success!!!
