PyMilo is an open-source Python package that addresses the limitations of existing Machine Learning (ML) model storage formats by providing a transparent, reliable, and safe method for exporting and deploying trained models. Current formats, such as pickle and other binary formats, have significant problems, such as reliability, safety, and transparency issues. In contrast, PyMilo serializes ML models in a transparent non-executable format, enabling straightforward and safe model exchange, while also facilitating the deserialization and deployment of exported models in production environments. This package aims to provide a seamless, end-to-end solution for the exportation and importation of pre-trained ML models, which simplifies the model development and deployment pipeline.

Selecting an optimal classification model requires a robust and comprehensive understanding of the performance of the model. This paper provides a tutorial on the PyCM library, demonstrating its utility in conducting deep-dive evaluations of multi-class classifiers. By examining two different case scenarios, we illustrate how the choice of evaluation metrics can fundamentally shift the interpretation of a model's efficacy. Our findings emphasize that a multi-dimensional evaluation framework is essential for uncovering small but important differences in model performance. However, standard metrics may miss these subtle performance trade-offs.
