================================================== simserver -- document similarity server in Python

Index plain text documents and query the index for semantically related documents.

Simserver uses transactions internally to provide a robust and scalable similarity server.

Installation

Simserver builds on the gensim <http://radimrehurek.com/gensim/>_ framework for topic modelling.

The simple way to install simserver is with::

sudo easy_install -U simserver

Or, if you have instead downloaded and unzipped the source tar.gz <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simserver>_ package, you'll need to run::

python setup.py test
sudo python setup.py install

This version has been tested under Python 2.5 and 2.7, but should run on any 2.5 <= Python < 3.0.

Documentation

See http://radimrehurek.com/gensim/simserver.html . More coming soon.

Licensing

Simserver is released under the GNU Affero GPL license v3 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html>_.

This means you may use simserver freely in your application (even commercial application!), but you must then open-source your application as well, under an AGPL-compatible license.

The AGPL license makes sure that this applies even when you make your application available only remotely (such as through the web).

TL;DR: simserver is open-source, but you have to contact me for any proprietary use.
