pipelining-colemann 0.0.5

A lightweight, object-orientated pipeline framework in Python

Pipelining

A lightweight, object-orientated pipeline framework in Python, with Rich-powered logging, and abstract semantics.

Features

• Modular Stages: Each processing step can be defined by subclassing the simple Stage interface.
• Pipeline Orchestration: Stages can be composed into ordered pipelines with automatic logging injection.
• Pretty Logging: Good looking logging, powered by Rich
• Concurrency: The MultiStepStage supports parallelism of tasks.

Installation

This package is built for Python 3.10 or greater.

Install pipelining-colemann through PyPi with:

$ pip install pipelining-colemann
...

Example

class TextStage(Stage):
    def __init__(self, name: str, message: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(name)
        self.message = message

    def run(self, context: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
        self.logger.info(f"{self.name}: {self.message}")


pipeline = Pipeline(
    [TextStage("Stage 1", "Hello, World!"), TextStage("Stage 2", "Goodbye, World!")],
    name="Example Pipeline",
)

pipeline.run()

A simple example like this will output:

                      INFO     Running stage: TextStage                                                                                                                            
                      INFO     Stage 2: Goodbye, World!                                                                                                                            
                      INFO     Stage TextStage completed successfully!                                                                                                             
                      INFO     Example Pipeline completed successfully!                                                                                                            

Concurrency Example

class TextStage(Stage):
    def __init__(self, name: str, message: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(name)
        self.message = message

    def run(self, _: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
        self.logger.info(f"{self.name}: {self.message}")


def make_step(name: str, delay: float = 0.1) -> Callable:
    def step(context):
        sleep(delay)
        context[name] = f"{name}_done"

    return step


multistep_stage = MultiStepStage(
    name="Multi-Step Stage Example",
    steps=[
        make_step("Step A", delay=0.2),
        make_step("Step B", delay=5),
        make_step("Step C", delay=0.1),
    ],
    parallel=True,
)

text_one = TextStage(name="Text Stage One", message="This is the first text stage.")
text_two = TextStage(name="Text Stage Two", message="This is the second text stage.")

pipeline = Pipeline(
    stages=[text_one, multistep_stage, text_two], name="Example Pipeline"
)

context: dict[str, Any] = {}

pipeline.run(context=context, use_tqdm=True)

This is an example of a pipeline with both normal and multi-step stages - with the multi-step stage running its steps in parallel.

Development

To setup a Python environment for this project, I recommend using Pixi - I use it and like it. You can enter the workspace using:

$ pixi shell
...

The following self-explanatory tasks are available for usage.

• ruff
• mypy
• test
• coverage

Testing

Tests can be run through Pixi with:

$ pixi run test
...

They can be run with coverage too, this will generate a coverage report under the htmlcov directory.

$ pixi run coverage
...

Contributing

Feel free to contribute to the project! I would appreciate any feedback or comments. Although this project has been built with my own usage in mind, I'm open to changes and improvements.
