Here is my chunk of Python (2.7, [I learned Python 3 so use the future print_function to get the print formatting I'm used to using]) using the learning code from scikit-learn from a few revisions ago both of which I'm locked into because of corporate IT policy. Its using the SVC engine. What I don't understand is that the results I get for the +/- 1 case is different between the first (using simple_clf) and the second. But structurally I think they're identical with the first processing and entire array of data at once and the second just using data 1 piece of the array at a time. Yet the results don't agree. The values generated for the average (mean) score should be a decimal percentage (0.0 to 1.0). In some cases the difference is small but others more than large enough to make me ask my question.

Here are my results, you can see that they don't match. My actual work task was to see if changing exactly what sort of data was gathered to feed the learning engine would help with the accuracy or even if combining data into a bigger teaching vector would help so you see I'm working on bunch of combinations. Each pair of lines are for a type of learning data. The first line is my results, the second the results based on the "original" code.
