SciPy is a Python library for scientific / technical computing. Some of its core packages:
1) NumPy: Base N-dimensional array package
2) SciPy: Fundamental library for scientific computing
3) Matplotlib: Comprehensive 2D Plotting
4) IPython: Enhanced Interactive Console
5) Sympy: Symbolic mathematics
6) pandas: Data structures & analysis
Let us directly jump in and look at some of the steps listed at Your First Machine Learning Project in Python Step-By-Step:
1) IMPORT

plt.show()

# evaluate each model in turn
results = []

for name, model in models:
kfold = model_selection.KFold(n_splits=10, random_state=seed)
cv_results = model_selection.cross_val_score(model, X_train, Y_train, cv=kfold, scoring=scoring)
results.append(cv_results)
names.append(name)

print(msg)
# Compare Algorithms
fig = plt.figure()
fig.suptitle(‘Algorithm Comparison’)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plt.boxplot(results)
ax.set_xticklabels(names)
plt.show()
knn = KNeighborsClassifier()
knn.fit(X_train, Y_train)
predictions = knn.predict(X_validation)
print(accuracy_score(Y_validation, predictions))
print(confusion_matrix(Y_validation, predictions))
print(classification_report(Y_validation, predictions))
