Hi Gael :)
thank you for your patient reply.

I suspect it's very advanced topic, and not sure if I'll gain anything, 
but at least I'll know how far I am from it. 

If you could point to some source how 'digits.csv.gz' was distilled from 
'http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/pendigits/' 
data, or some similar example, I could probably start wondering around 
and maybe ask smarter questions at scikits.learn mailing list 

I tried to look from other side, like 'reusing of existing data from 
http://mlcomp.org', but I can't find my common denominator with their 
provided datasets. 


Best wishes,
Klonuo
