openeo-pg-parser-networkx 2026.3.3

Parse OpenEO process graphs from JSON to traversible Python objects.

OpenEO Process Graph Parser (Python & networkx)

Python package to parse OpenEO process graphs from raw JSON into fully traversible networkx graph objects. This package is an evolution of the openeo-pg-parser-python package.

Installation

This package can be installed with pip:

pip install openeo-pg-parser-networkx

To enable plotting also install the plot extra:

pip install openeo-pg-parser-networkx[plot]

Currently Python versions 3.10-3.14 are supported.

Basic usage

(An example notebook of using openeo-pg-parser-networkx together with a process implementation source like openeo-processes-dask can be found in openeo-pg-parser-networkx/examples/01_minibackend_demo.ipynb.)

Parse a JSON OpenEO process graph:

from openeo_pg_parser_networkx import OpenEOProcessGraph

EVI_GRAPH_PATH = "../tests/data/graphs/pg-evi-example.json"

parsed_graph = OpenEOProcessGraph.from_file(EVI_GRAPH_PATH)

Plot it:

parsed_graph.plot()

To execute a process graph, OpenEOProcessGraph needs to know which Python code to call for each of the nodes in the graph. This information is provided by a "process registry", which is basically a dictionary that maps each process_id to its actual Python implementation as a Callable.

Register process implementations to a "process registry":

The ProcessRegistry object also allows registering wrapper functions that will be wrapped around each registered process implementation. See openeo-processes-dask for an example of a wrapper function that resolves incoming parameters.

from openeo_pg_parser_networkx import ProcessRegistry

from openeo_processes_dask.process_implementations import apply, ndvi, multiply, load_collection, save_result
from openeo_processes_dask.core import process

# `process` is wrapped around each registered implementation
process_registry = ProcessRegistry(wrap_funcs=[process])

process_registry["apply"] =  apply
process_registry["ndvi"] =  ndvi
process_registry["multiply"] =  multiply
process_registry["load_collection"] =  load_collection
process_registry["save_result"] =  save_result

The ProcessRegistry also allows use of namespaces by using a tuple as a key instead of a single value. If using a single value the default namespace is "predefined".

Addressing entire namespaces can be done by using None as the value for process_id.

process_registry["namespace", "process_id"] = process
process_registry["namespace", None] = processes

This logic can be extended to all functionalities.

process = process_registry["namespace", "process_id"] # gets the single process named "process_id" in the namespace "namespace"
processes = process_registry["namespace", None] # gets the entire namespace "namespace"


del process_registry["namespace", "process_id"] # deletes the single process named "process_id" in the namespace "namespace"
del process_registry["namespace", None] # deletes the entire namespace "namespace"

Build an executable callable from the process graph:

pg_callable = parsed_graph.to_callable(process_registry=process_registry)

Execute that callable like a normal Python function:

pg_callable

> Running process load_collection
> Running process apply
> ...

Development environment

openeo-pg-parser-networkx requires poetry >1.2, see their docs for installation instructions.

To setup the python venv and install this project into it run:

poetry install

To add a new core dependency run:

poetry add some_new_dependency

To add a new development dependency run:

poetry add some_new_dependency --group dev

To run the test suite run:

poetry run python -m pytest

Note that you can also use the virtual environment that's generated by poetry as the kernel for the ipynb notebooks.

Pre-commit hooks

This repo makes use of pre-commit hooks to enforce linting & a few sanity checks. In a fresh development setup, install the hooks using poetry run pre-commit install. These will then automatically be checked against your changes before making the commit.
