Does scikit learn include a Naive Bayes classifier with continuous inputs?

Is there anything in scikit learn that can help me with the following?

I need a Bayesian network that is capable of taking continuous valued inputs and training against continuous valued targets. I then want to feed in new, previously unseen continuous inputs and receive estimates of the target values. Preferably with a way to measure confidence of the predictions. (PDFs perhaps?)

I am uncertain whether this would be considered a Naive Bayes Classifier or not.

I keep looking at GaussianNB but I just cannot see how it could be used in this way.

I'd like one that support "independence of irrelevant alternatives"

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You are talking about regression, not classification. Naive Bayes Classifier is not a regression model. Check out numerous scikit-learn's regressors. IN particular, your could be interested in Bayesian Ridge Regression.
