elbow 0.1.1

Lift special-purpose data into common tabular formats for analytics 💪

💪 Elbow

Elbow is a lightweight and scalable library for getting diverse data out of specialized formats and into common tabular data formats for downstream analytics.

Example

Extract image metadata and pixel values from all JPEG image files under the current directory and save as a Parquet dataset.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from PIL import Image

from elbow.builders import build_parquet

def extract_image(path: str):
    img = Image.open(path)
    width, height = img.size
    pixel_values = np.asarray(img)
    return {
        "path": path,
        "width": width,
        "height": height,
        "pixel_values": pixel_values,
    }

build_parquet(
    source="**/*.jpg",
    extract=extract_image,
    output="images.pqds/",
    workers=8,
)

df = pd.read_parquet("images.pqds")
