Quick Start

from datasynth_py import DataSynth, CompanyConfig, Config, GlobalSettings, ChartOfAccountsSettings

config = Config(
    global_settings=GlobalSettings(
        industry="retail",
        start_date="2024-01-01",
        period_months=12,
    ),
    companies=[
        CompanyConfig(code="C001", name="Retail Corp", currency="USD", country="US"),
    ],
    chart_of_accounts=ChartOfAccountsSettings(complexity="small"),
)

synth = DataSynth()
result = synth.generate(config=config, output={"format": "csv", "sink": "temp_dir"})
print(result.output_dir)

Using Blueprints

from datasynth_py import DataSynth
from datasynth_py.config import blueprints

config = blueprints.retail_small(companies=4, transactions=10000)
synth = DataSynth()
result = synth.generate(config=config, output={"format": "parquet", "sink": "path", "path": "./output"})

Distribution Blueprints

from datasynth_py.config import blueprints

# ML training with realistic distributions
config = blueprints.ml_training(with_distributions=True)

# Statistical validation preset
config = blueprints.statistical_validation()

# Add distributions to any config
config = blueprints.with_distributions(base_config)

# Retail with realistic names
config = blueprints.retail_small(realistic_names=True)

Requirements

The wrapper shells out to the datasynth-data CLI binary. Build it with:

cargo build --release
export DATASYNTH_BINARY=target/release/datasynth-data

Or pass binary_path when creating the client:

synth = DataSynth(binary_path="/path/to/datasynth-data")
