Hi Randy, You're right that the current implementation doesn't support non-numeric types (for efficiency and compatibility with other sklearn classifiers), but you're also right that trees can theoretically support any type as input so long as the < operator is defined for it. I'm not sure whether this will end up being supported in sklearn.
