This is a Python implementation of the Dunn index, which is used to evaluate clustering results. While, officially, I followed the reference below, unnoficially, Wikipedia was a lot more helpful in this endeavour.

I also want to thank the people who used the code and commented in the GitHub gist where the code below is hosted. I received many bug reports and useful suggestions.
