fysh 0.0.1.8

Command Line Interface tool for flockfysh.

Build and upload to PyPI

To build the package:

pip install build
python -m build

To upload the package:

pip install twine
python -m twine upload --repository pypi dist/*

General use

Everything you need is stored in the ffysh import or in the ffysh CLI - you don't need to worry about its submodules.

Create a project and log in to Flockfysh

1. Ensure your current working directory is correct.
2. From the terminal, run these two commands:

   ffysh init
   ffysh login
   

3. Log in to Flockfysh using the new browser window and click Approve to allow ffysh to use your account.

Datasets

1. You'll first need to create a Dataset object first, using the 24-character ID of the dataset you want. If the dataset does not exist, an error will be thrown.

   from ffysh import Dataset
   
   dataset = Dataset("some_dataset_id")
   

2. From there, you can create a stream object.

   stream = dataset.create_stream()
   

Additional dataset attributes and methods:

# Print dataset ID.
print(dataset.dataset_id)

Streams

Streams are the basic unit of operation in ffysh. Each stream is a lazy-loaded snapshot of a dataset, and it expands as much as the user needs. Alternatively, you can use it as if it is a Python list.

1. First, store the ID of the stream for later use.

   with open("stream_id.json", "w") as file:
       json.dump({"id": stream.stream_id}, file)
   

2. This allows the stream to reload from disk.

   from ffysh import Stream
   
   with open("stream_id.json", "w") as file:
      stream = Stream.load(json.load(file)["id"]
   

   Note that each stream instance can only be created or loaded once, and if it is load twice, the old stream instance will be returned.

   with open("stream_id.json", "w") as file:
      stream2 = Stream.load(json.load(file)["id"]
   
   print(stream is stream2) # True
   

3. Stream methods:

   from ffysh import Stream
   
   with open("stream_id.json", "w") as file:
       stream = Stream.load(json.load(file)["id"]
   
   # Iteration
   for asset in stream:
       print(asset)
   
   # Stream indexing and slicing
   print(stream[0:5:2])
   
   # Loads the next 5 items that has not been loaded yet 
   # into the cache, and return them. If the stream ends, 
   # an empty list is returned, and any more calls will raise 
   # a StopIteration exception.
   stream.next_assets(5)
   
   # Expands the stream until the stream ends or is at least 100 
   # items long by loading more items from the cache.
   stream.expand(100)
   
   # Expands the stream until the end.
   stream.expand()
   
   # Convert the entire stream to a PyTorch zip.
   stream.to_pytorch("./dataset.zip", confidence_level=0.6)
   

Limitations

1. You must not use a stream in 2 Python programs at a time. If you want to, create a second stream or quit the first program. Although you still have to re-download labels, images will be cached in a separate directory, so that multiple streams can access the same asset.
2. Even if assets and their labels are deleted remotely, they will stay intact locally. We'll introduce a way to discard unused streams and purge redundant images in the future.
