I finally got around to finishing this tutorial and put it on my blog. Please enjoy the finished version here.

Try the sklearn.linear_model.SGDClassifier (SVM), it will probably give even better results!

Just wanted to say thank you for a simply perfect article, i'm looking for a way to classify attachments coming in on emails, keeping an eye out for a certain type of document, this is by far the best written and explained example I've come across.

How to save the trained data , so that I don't have to train everytime I use the script?

@zurez - you can simply dump it to a file then load it in later.

from sklearn.externals import joblib
joblib.dump(clf, 'my_trained_data.pkl', compress=9)
Then to load it back in
from sklearn.externals import joblib
trained_data = joblib.load('my_trained_data.pkl')

I've tried to edit the script to use my own text. I get the following error on this line

data = data.reindex(numpy.random.permutation(data.index))

cannot reindex from a duplicate axis

I have a question. The point where you have initialized SOURCE for creating a list of data and type(Ham/spam). Can we automate it? I mean to ask whether we have to do it manually if I have 500 data or more?

@zurez...Pickle the pipeline (model) object to a file..Later you can load the pickled object.
