Copycat

Goals

To create:

• a clean, well-commented Copycat code base written in python.
• the reference implementation when studying or discussing Melanie Mitchell's Copycat.
• a readable and opaque guide to the details of Melanie Mitchell's implementation.
• a version of Melanie Mitchell's Copycat that runs on most popular operating systems.

Why Python

Python:

• makes it easy to write concise, readable code.
• is available by default on most Linux distributions, BSD distributions, Mac OSX, and is a quick install on Windows.
• is easy for novices to understand and use without any additional baggage
