Pii Decide

This repository builds a Python package providing evaluation & decision on detected PII instances, by means of implemented "deciders", modules that decide where a PII Instance is to be kept or it is to be ignored.

Right now it is a (mostly) dummy package, and it incorporates only one simple decider that takes care of removing overlapping PII Instances by following a simple rule (if two instances overlap, it just retains the longest one)

Requirements

The package needs

• at least Python 3.8
• the pii-data base package

Usage

The package can be used:

• As an API, using the PiiDecider class
• As a command-line tool

Building

The provided Makefile can be used to process the package:

• make pkg will build the Python package, creating a file that can be installed with pip
• make unit will launch all unit tests (using pytest, so pytest must be available)
• make install will install the package in a Python virtualenv. The virtualenv will be chosen as, in this order:
  • the one defined in the VENV environment variable, if it is defined
  • if there is a virtualenv activated in the shell, it will be used
  • otherwise, a default is chosen as /opt/venv/pii (it will be created if it does not exist)
