home-run 0.2.0

Turns DLHub metadata into functional Python objects

# DLHub home_run

[](https://travis-ci.org/DLHub-Argonne/home_run)[](https://coveralls.io/github/DLHub-Argonne/home_run?branch=master)

home_run is a tool used by [the Data and Learning Hub for Science](https://www.dlhub.org) internally to turn a bunch of files and a recipe into an functional Python object.

## Installation

home_run is on PyPi. Install it by calling

`bash pip install home_run `

home_run is designed to be as light-weight as possible, and has no dependencies.

## Technical Details

The key ingredients for using home_run are files describing a function that will be served by DLHub. These include a metadata file describing the servable (see [dlhub_sdk](http://github.com/dlhub-argonne/dlhub_sdk) for tools for creating these files, and [dlhub_schemas](http://github.com/dlhub-argonne/dlhub_schemas) for the schemas), and the actual files that make up the servable (e.g., a Keras hdf5 file).

Each particular type of servable has its own recipe for going from these files to a Python object. All recipes are a subclass of BaseServable, which provides the general framework for defining a servable object. Each subclass has a matching BaseMetadataModel class in dlhub_sdk. For example, the type of servable that can be described by the PythonStaticMethodModel can be run by the PythonStaticMethodServable.
