commonlib-reader

Connector package for Equinor Commonlib api.

Current features:

• Reading any code table with the Code class
• Reading library definitions and attribute definitions with the Library and AttributeDefinition classes
• Getting facility data using the Facility class
• IMS source lookup tables for facilities
• Getting Tag category, Tag type, Tag format, and Tag format element data. See tag.py
• Getting units of measure definitions.

Use

Try it out by running the demo.

Libraries and codes

A Library defines a code table and its attribute schema; a Code is one entry in that table. Use package-provided specialized readers when available, such as Facility, Discipline, Unit, TagType, TagCategory, and TagFormat; otherwise use the generic Code reader.

Libraries

Use Library to discover available code tables and inspect their definitions.

from commonlib_reader import Library

library_names = Library.get_names()
discipline_library = Library.get("Discipline")
attribute_definitions = discipline_library.attribute_definitions
is_scoped = discipline_library.is_scope_specific
scope_type = discipline_library.scope_type

Library.get_all() supports name and scope filters. Each AttributeDefinition provides its name, description, required status, identity participation, validation regular expression, and referenced library name.

Check is_scope_specific and scope_type before retrieving codes. For example, when scope_type is "Facility" and is_scope_specific is True, pass the facility installation code, such as "TROC", as scope.

Code tables

Use Code.get_codes() to retrieve entries from any CommonLib code table. Filter by installation scope or code name when needed.

from commonlib_reader import Code

disciplines = Code.get_codes("Discipline", scope="TROC")
administration = Code.get_codes("Discipline", scope="TROC", name="A")

Each entry provides name, description, identity, is_valid, attributes, and other CommonLib metadata. Use Code.get_names() or Code.get_name_and_desc() when only dropdown-friendly names or name/description data is required.

Installing

Install package from pypi using pip install commonlib_reader

Developing / testing

uv is preferred for developers. Clone and install with required packages for testing and coverage: uv sync

For testing with coverage run: uv run pytest --cov --cov-report=html
