Using FANN with Python
In the previous article we showed how to install the FANN artificial neural network library on Ubuntu. In this article we will use the library. There are typically two parts in using artificial neural networks: A training part, where the neural network is trained with a training dataset. This dataset is chosen in such a […]
Installing FANN with Python bindings on Ubuntu
The Fast Artificial Neural Network Library (FANN) is a neural network library, which implements multilayer artificial neural networks in C with support for both fully connected and sparsely connected networks. It has a Python binding that allows you to use its functionality from within Python, but with the bits that need speed implemented in C. […]
Examples of public SOAP web services
In the previous article we showed how to use the suds library in Python to access SOAP web services. Here are some extra examples of public SOAP web services. Some of the outputs are edited for readability. We start with a recap of the one we used in the previous article. Map IP address to […]
Python SOAP client with suds
The library suds allows Python to make SOAP calls (that is, Python is the web service client). We start by installing the suds library on an Ubuntu machine. The Python setuptools are needed to install suds. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools Then we download, unpack and install suds. wget https://fedorahosted.org/releases/s/u/suds/python-suds-0.3.7.tar.gz tar -zxvf python-suds-0.3.7.tar.gz cd python-suds-0.3.7 sudo […]
Using Python to add new posts in WordPress
Wordpress is a web publishing platform, which allows you to add and edit content to your website. This can be done by visiting the administration interface, wp-admin.
