nta.utils

nta.utils

nta.utils is a library implements commonly used patterns in Numenta applications.

Installation

python setup.py develop --install-dir=<site-packages in $PYTHONPATH>

• --install-dir must specify a location in your PYTHONPATH, typically something that ends with "site-packages". If not specified, system default is used.

Requirements

• Python 2.7, including setuptools

Note: nta.utils is a mostly generic collection of utilities shared by multiple Numenta applications. For example, there are utilities for interacting with an AMQP message broker such as rabbitmq, as well as MySQL. You don't necessarily need rabbitmq or mysql installed and running on the same instance as your application, but the tests will require access to some mysql and rabbitmq host. As such, you should be prepared to configure your application to use the following:

• rabbitmq 3.5 (or higher)
• mysql 5.6 (or higher)
