I like Cluto as a data clustering software a lot. But its library binding is available only in C.
Is there any python library which is similar to Cluto?

About how many data points do you have, in 2d 3d 10d 128d, how many clusters ? – denis Mar 07 '11 at 15:11

I've not tried any of them, but there are a few things which say they do clustering in Python:
- scipy.cluster (numpy and scipy are the two mainstays of serious numerical computation in Python)
- Pycluster
- hcluster (looks like it's not been updated in a couple of years)
If none of those do the trick, you could use something like ctypes to call functions from Cluto, although it won't be as elegant.

scipy.cluster is pretty good, I've used it (google "scipy.cluster" => many hits, with site:stackoverflow.com too). Pycluster is I believe designed for low-dimensional gene clusters. hcluster seems to be an extinct scipy.cluster, also by Damian Eads. – denis Mar 07 '11 at 15:49
