Based on my knowledge of scikit-learn's codebase structure and the issue description, I can generate the patch. The issue is about validating `n_neighbors` as an integer in the neighbors module. In scikit-learn, the validation typically happens in `sklearn/neighbors/base.py` in the `KNeighborsMixin.kneighbors` method and in the base class initialization. Let me create a patch based on the standard scikit-learn patterns for parameter validation: --- a/sklearn/neighbors/base.py +++ b/sklearn/neighbors/base.py @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ # License: BSD 3 clause (C) INRIA, University of Amsterdam from functools import partial +import numbers import warnings from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod @@ -136,6 +137,12 @@ class NeighborsBase(BaseEstimator, MultiOutputMixin, metaclass=ABCMeta): self._fit_method = 'brute' if self.n_neighbors is not None: + if not isinstance(self.n_neighbors, numbers.Integral): + raise TypeError( + "n_neighbors does not take %s value, " + "enter integer value" % + type(self.n_neighbors)) + if self.n_neighbors <= 0: raise ValueError( "Expected n_neighbors > 0.
