lightning is an ongoing project to implement and research large-scale algorithms for kernel-based classification and regression in Python/Cython.

The required dependencies to build the software are Python >= 2.6, setuptools, Numpy >= 1.3, SciPy >= 0.7, scikit-learn >= 0.9 and a working C/C++ compiler.

To run the tests you will also need nose >= 0.10.
