Known Issue

• The Python interface of Intel DAAL is provided as source. Users need to build it from source. On Windows there are some warning messages at the build time. These warning messages do not indicate critical issues, and do not affect the functionalty of the Python interface. 
• The Python interface of Intel DAAL currently does not work with OS X* El Capitan (version 10.11). However, there exists a workaround: Users can download a pre-built Python interface for Intel DAAL from Anaconda (http://anaconda.org/intel/). The pre-built Python interface works on OS X* El Capitan.
