python package common tasks for users (e.g. copy examples, fetch data, ...)

Project description

pyct

A utility package that includes:

  1. pyct.cmd: Makes various commands available to other packages. (Currently no sophisticated plugin system, just a try import/except in the other packages.) The same commands are available from within python. Can either add new subcommands to an existing argparse based command if the module has an existing command, or create the entire command if the module has no existing command. Currently, there are commands for copying examples and fetching data. See

  2. pyct.build: Provides various commands to help package building, primarily as a convenience for project maintainers.

pyct.cmd

To install pyct with the dependencies required for pyct.cmd: pip install pyct[cmd] or conda install -c pyviz pyct.

An example of how to use in a project: https://github.com/ioam/geoviews/blob/master/geoviews/__main__.py

Once added, users can copy the examples of a package and download the required data with the examples command:

$ datashader examples --help
usage: datashader examples [-h] [--path PATH] [-v] [--force]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --path PATH    location to place examples and data
  -v, --verbose
  --force        if PATH already exists, force overwrite existing examples if older than source examples

To copy the examples of e.g. datashader but not download the data, there's a copy-examples command:

usage: datashader copy-examples [-h] [--path PATH] [-v] [--force]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --path PATH    where to copy examples
  -v, --verbose
  --force        if PATH already exists, force overwrite existing examples if older than source examples

And to download the data only, the fetch-data command:

usage: datashader fetch-data [-h] [--path PATH] [--datasets DATASETS] [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --path PATH          where to put data
  --datasets DATASETS  *name* of datasets file; must exist either in path specified by --path or in package/examples/
  -v, --verbose

Can specify different 'datasets' file:

$ cat earthsim-examples/test.yml
---

data:

  - url: http://s3.amazonaws.com/datashader-data/Chesapeake_and_Delaware_Bays.zip
    title: 'Depth data for the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay region of the USA'
    files:
      - Chesapeake_and_Delaware_Bays.3dm

$ earthsim fetch-data --path earthsim-examples --datasets-filename test.yml
Downloading data defined in /tmp/earthsim-examples/test.yml to /tmp/earthsim-examples/data
Skipping Depth data for the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay region of the USA

pyct.build

Currently provides a way to package examples with a project, by copying an examples folder into the package directory whenever setup.py is run. The way this works is likely to change in the near future, but is provided here as the first step towards unifying/simplifying the maintenance of a number of pyviz projects.
