Python package to fetch data from the LIBSVM website.

A python util to fetch datasets from the LIBSVM website.

Getting design matrix and target variable is as easy as:

from libsvmdata import fetch_libsvm
X, y = fetch_libsvm("news20")

Currently supported datasets are in libsvmdata.datasets.NAMES.keys().

The datasets are saved in a subfolder libsvm inside libsvmdata.datasets.DATA_HOME, whose value is:

• the environment variable LIBSVMDATA_HOME if it exists,
• else, the environment variable XDG_DATA_HOME if it exists,
• else, $HOME/data.
