atlasopenmagic 1.6.0

A utility package for retrieving ATLAS open data URLs and metadata.

ATLAS Open Magic 🪄📊

atlasopenmagic is a Python package made to simplify working with ATLAS Open Data by providing utilities to manage metadata and URLs for streaming the data.

Key Features:

• Simple functions to set the active data release (e.g., 2024r-pp).
• Efficient local caching of metadata to minimize API calls.
• Helper functions to retrieve specific dataset information, including file URLs for different "skims" (filtered versions of datasets).
• Support for multiple URL protocols (root, https, eos).
• Configuration via environment variables for easy integration into different workflows.

Installation

You can install this package using pip.

pip install atlasopenmagic

Alternatively, clone the repository and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/atlas-outreach-data-tools/atlasopenmagic.git
cd atlasopenmagic
pip install .

Documentation

You can find the full documentation for ATLAS Open Magic in the ATLAS Open Data website.

Quick start

First, import the package:

import atlasopenmagic as atom

See the available releases and set to one of the options given by available_releases()

atom.available_releases()
set_release('2024r-pp')

Check in the Monte Carlo Metadata which datasets do you want to retrieve and use the 'Dataset ID'. For example, to get the metadata from Pythia8EvtGen_A14MSTW2008LO_Zprime_NoInt_ee_SSM3000:

all_metadata = atom.get_metadata('301204')

If we only want a specific variable:

xsec = atom.get_metadata('301204', 'cross_section')

To get the URLs to stream the files for that MC dataset:

all_mc = atom.get_urls('301204')

To get some data instead, check the available options:

atom.available_data()

And get the URLs for the one that's to be used:

all_mc = atom.get_urls('data')

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! To contribute:

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature-name).
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature').
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature-name).
5. Create a Pull Request.

Please ensure all tests pass before submitting a pull request (just run pytest from the main directory of the package).

Developers can also pip install including additional tools required for testing:

pip install atlasopenmagic[dev]

or with a local copy of the repository:

pip install '.[dev]'

Pre-commit Hooks

We use pre-commit hooks, find below how to use them.

Installation

1. Install the [dev] dependencies if you haven't already, as shown above.

2. Install the git hook scripts:

pre-commit install

3. (Optional) Run against all files:

pre-commit run --all-files

What the hooks do

• black: Formats Python code consistently
• isort: Sorts imports alphabetically and separates them into sections
• ruff: Fast Python linter that catches common errors and style issues
• codespell: Checks for common misspellings in code and comments
• trailing-whitespace: Removes trailing whitespace
• end-of-file-fixer: Ensures files end with a newline
• pydocstyle: Checks docstring style (Google convention)

The hooks will run automatically on git commit. If any hook fails, the commit will be blocked until the issues are fixed.
