gensimjython-2.7

gensim with jython

Im using Jython 2.7.1. It is working fine. I need to install gensim. Does this library works in jython?

Thank you

Solution

  • No, Jython does not support gensim.

    Gensim has as dependencies SciPy and NumPy. Gensim Installation

    Both libraries use native C extensions, which Jython does not support. There is a project whose goal is to allow the use of C extensions in Jython - JyNI. As of 2015, JyNI did not adequately support NumPy. See This Question. I have not tested later versions of JyNI.
