Each sample has four measurements: sepal length, sepal width, petal length, petal width. Given these measurements a machine learning model can predict the iris specie with a high degree of accuracy. Here I demonstrate a machine learning web application using <em>Python</em>, <em>Scikit-Learn</em> machine learning library and <em>Flask</em> web framework. The application is then deployed on an Amazon EC2 instance.

It first appeared in Nov 2009 and has been rapidly gaining in popularity. Some of the language&rsquo;s highlights include clean and highly accessible syntax, garbage collection, amazing native concurrency, fast compilation speed, excellent tooling, builtin documentation, good cross-platform support, ORM (Object-relational mapping ) library called GORM and excellent support for micro-services.</p>
