niyamit-sphere 0.1.0

A modern Python implementation of HAZUS flood methodology for building vulnerability and loss estimation.

sphere

A modern Python implementation of the HAZUS flood methodology for building vulnerability and loss estimation. This repository packages a set of libraries (sphere-core, sphere-data, sphere-flood) that implement flood vulnerability functions, lookup tables, and analysis scripts suitable for research and operational use.

This project is a newer reimplementation of HAZUS flood vulnerability logic with a focus on clarity, type annotations, and tested, modular code.

Key features

• Building vulnerability functions (HAZUS-derived)
• Flood damage cross-reference and interpolation utilities
• Example analysis scripts in examples/
• Test coverage under tests/

Quick start

1. Create a virtual environment (Python 3.10+).

uv sync --all-packages

2. Run tests

uv run pytest -q

3. Explore examples in the examples/ directory.

uv run examples\fast_analysis.py

Development

There are two convenient ways to work with the workspace packages locally:

• Lightweight dev environment using PYTHONPATH (recommended for quick development):

  • Linux/macOS:

     source scripts/dev.env
     uv run pytest -q
    

  • Windows PowerShell:

     .\scripts\dev.env.ps1
     uv run pytest -q
    

  This sets PYTHONPATH so imports like import sphere.core resolve against the in-repo sources without installing packages into your virtualenv.

-- Meta package (sphere-meta): a minimal aggregator distribution that depends on sphere-core, sphere-data, and sphere-flood. You can build and install libs/sphere-meta if you want a single installable package that pulls the three distributions from PyPI.

```powershell
cd libs/sphere-meta
uv run python -m build -w
python -m pip install dist\sphere_meta-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
```

CI notes

In CI, prefer one of these two approaches:

• Set PYTHONPATH (fast): add the paths to GITHUB_ENV so tests can import the in-repo packages.
• Build wheels for each package and install them (strict): build and install wheels in the job before running tests.
