Hi All,  
Is there away to use Sklearn, Pandas and Scipy in python for Rhino?  
Not sure if these are supported in IronPython or there are other alternatives (the limitation of the .net…).

I know that raw data can be streamed out of the GH environment and used to create a learning model, but then it might be more efficient to have it directly in the GH /Rhino python environment.

Hi @fbarazi,

Here is what I’ve found on Sklearn and Pandas:

[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16171923/can-scikit-be-used-from-ironpython](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16171923/can-scikit-be-used-from-ironpython)

[NumPy / SciPy support in Rhino 6](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/numpy-scipy-support-in-rhino-6/44207)

So, it doesn’t look good - sorry.

You may want to look at LunchBoxML

They are using Accord which would be accessible to IronPython
