lab-ia 0.1.0

A premium cross-platform CLI tool to package and distribute lab assets.

lab-ia 🧪

A production-ready Python CLI package that packages and distributes lab assets (including .docx, .txt, .ipynb, .csv datasets, and whole projects) cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation

You can install lab-ia directly from source:

pip install .

CLI Commands

1. Download All Labs

Downloads all labs (ML, SDP, MAD) to the default Downloads directory (~/Downloads):

lab-ia download-all

Optional Flags

• --dir, -d : Specify a custom directory.
• --verbose, -v : Enable verbose progress logging.
• --force, -f : Overwrite files if they already exist in the target directory (without this flag, existing files are safely skipped).

Example:

lab-ia download-all --verbose --force

2. Download to User Directory

Downloads all labs to a user-specified directory:

lab-ia download --dir ~/Desktop/Labs

Directory Handling

• Handles relative paths (e.g. Labs, ./Labs)
• Handles absolute paths (e.g. C:\Labs on Windows or /usr/local/labs on Linux)
• Handles home relative paths (e.g. ~/Desktop/Labs)
• Handles direct shortcuts (e.g. /Desktop/Labs or \Desktop\Labs on Windows)
• Automatically creates any missing directories in the path.

3. Asset Integrity Verification

Includes internal automated byte-for-byte copy validation and structural integrity validation (e.g., zip validity check on Word files, JSON parser check on Jupyter Notebooks, CSV column check on dataset tables) to prevent 0KB or corrupt files.
