Creating a script to automate predictions

The key script to generate predictions (which will update the priority queue internally, thus reflecting in abstrackr) is now the generate_predictions.py module. This can be invoked directly (assuming one has sklearn/numpy installed!):

python generate_predictions.py

At present, you'll need to manually futz with the database connection string within said file, but this is straightforward (just drop in your username/password).

At Brown we use an Apple server, which means we rely on launchd to make nightly predictions. In our case, the plist file lives at /Library/LaunchDaemons/abstrackr_predict.plist, and just invokes the above

launchctl list | grep abstrackr
