## What it is
pyclustering is a Python and C++ data mining library providing clustering algorithms, oscillatory network models, and neural networks, with a pure C++14 core for performance. It is no longer maintained as of 2021, with the author recommending alternative solutions.

## Use cases
- cluster analysis of datasets in python
- run xmeans or dbscan clustering with a fast C++ core
- simulate oscillatory networks like LEGION or PCNN
- data mining algorithms for data science projects
- embed a dependency-free C++ clustering library in a C++ project
- visualize clustering results

## When to choose
- you need a broad collection of clustering algorithms in one library
- you want both Python and pure C++14 implementations with no third-party dependencies in the core
- you are on a platform where scikit-learn's clustering options are insufficient

## When to avoid
- you need maintained software with bug fixes and support - it is abandoned since 2021
- you want general-purpose machine learning beyond clustering - use scikit-learn
- you need GPU acceleration or modern actively developed clustering tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: machine-learning, data-visualization, math
- domain: data-science, machine-learning
- platform: python, cpp, windows, cross-platform
- tags: clustering, cluster-analysis, oscillatory-networks, neural-networks, data-mining, unsupervised-learning, xmeans, dbscan, no-longer-maintained, algorithms, linux, macos
