PyFIM is an extension module that makes several frequent item set mining implementations available as functions in Python 2.7.x & 3.5.x. Currently apriori, eclat, fpgrowth, sam, relim, carpenter, ista, accretion and apriacc are available as functions, although the interfaces do not offer all of the options of the command line program. (Note that lcm is available as an algorithm mode of eclat.) There is also a "generic" function fim, which is essentially the same function as fpgrowth, only with a simplified interface (fewer options). Finally, there is a function arules for generating association rules (simplified interface compared to apriori, eclat and fpgrowth, which can also be used to generate association rules.
