How to Insert new data to make a prediction? Sklearn

Question

I'm doing the "Hello world" in machine learning, using the Iris dataset. I already have an acceptable result for the entry of this model, I am using 80% of the information to train it and the remaining 20% to do the validation. I am using 6 prediction algorithms, which work well.

but I have a problem, how can I insert new information so that it is analyzed? How do I insert the characteristics of a flower and tell me the type of iris it is? Either: Iris-setosa, Iris-versicolor or Iris-virginica?

I think you can follow this other post to save your model, and after you can load him and pass new data and make some predictions.

Remember to set the data to same input shape as used during training.

import cPickle
# save the classifier
with open('my_dumped_classifier.pkl', 'wb') as fid:
    cPickle.dump(gnb, fid)    

# load it again
with open('my_dumped_classifier.pkl', 'rb') as fid:
    gnb_loaded = cPickle.load(fid)

# make predictions
