Pyliblinear - a liblinear python API

pyliblinear is an API for liblinear without using ctypes. It aims for more pythonic access to liblinear’s features, especially featuring streams of data and lazy evaluations whereever possible.

Supported python versions are Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+.

Development Status

Beta.

The API is not stabilized yet. There also may be a few kinks here and there. But generally it works as expected.

Integrity Check

There are hashes (MD5, SHA1 and SHA256) of the download packages stored in the digests file. In order to check the integrity of the downloaded file, use a tool like md5sum (or sha1sum, sha256sum accordingly), e.g.:

$ md5sum -c pyliblinear-247.0.digests
pyliblinear-247.0.tar.bz2: OK
pyliblinear-247.0.tar.gz: OK
pyliblinear-247.0.tar.xz: OK
pyliblinear-247.0.zip: OK

In order to check the integrity of the digest file itself, you can check the PGP signature of that file. The file is signed by André Malo, Key-ID 0x029C942244325167:

$ gpg --verify pyliblinear-247.0.digests
gpg: Signature made Tue Oct  3 18:19:17 2023 CEST
gpg:                using RSA key 21B65583FF640D34E8662B6B3DED446369F2EE1A
gpg: Good signature from "André Malo <nd@perlig.de>"
