k-means clustering in pure Python

# K-means clustering using Lloyd's algorithm in pure Python.
# Written by Lars Buitinck. This code is in the public domain.
#
# The main program runs the clustering algorithm on a bunch of text documents
# specified as command-line arguments. These documents are first converted to
# sparse vectors, represented as lists of (index, value) pairs.

Hello,
so from my understanding you need k documents? what if all the data is in one file?

how can i use it for a data like
documents = ["highly recommend series anyone yearning watch grown up television Complex characters plots keep one totally involved Thank Amazon Prime Mysteries interesting tension between Robson tall blond good always believable seemed uncomfortable beats watching blank screen do n't seem tune comedy today many episodes series pretty-much skip through try find description something think 's kind crap shoot whether 'll entertained hey 're sitting around trying kill 20-30 minutes 're waiting something 's worth shot"]

New to python so dnt knw exactly how to execute your code for my data. please help stuck at this step for long. its really urgent

pls send full source code to [email protected]
