Sklearn kNN usage with a user defined metric

You pass a metric as metric param, and additional metric arguments as keyword paramethers to NN constructor:

>>> def mydist(x, y):
...     return np.sum((x-y)**2)
...
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [-3, -2], [1, 1], [2, 1], [3, 2]])

>>> nbrs = NearestNeighbors(n_neighbors=4, algorithm='ball_tree',
...            metric="pyfunc", func=mydist)
>>> nbrs.fit(X)
NearestNeighbors(algorithm='ball_tree', leaf_size=30, metric="pyfunc",
         n_neighbors=4, radius=1.0)
>>> nbrs.kneighbors(X)
(array([[  0.,   1.,   5.,   8.],
       [  0.,   1.,   2.,  13.],
       [  0.,   2.,   5.,  25.],
       [  0.,   1.,   5.,   8.],
       [  0.,   1.,   2.,  13.],
       [  0.,   2.,   5.,  25.]]), array([[0, 1, 2, 3],
       [1, 0, 2, 3],
       [2, 1, 0, 3],
       [3, 4, 5, 0],
       [4, 3, 5, 0],
       [5, 4, 3, 0]]))
