pydtk 0.3.0

A Python toolkit for managing, retrieving and processing data.

Python Dataware Toolkit

A Python toolkit for managing, retrieving, and processing data.

Installation

You can install the toolkit with:

$ pip3 install pydtk

If you want to install the toolkit with extra feature (e.g. support for PointCloud and ROS), you can install it with extra dependencies as follows:

$ pip3 install pydtk[pointcloud,ros]

Some PyDTK models require additional packages.
Please refer the following table and install them manually with command pip install ....

PyDTK model	Required packages
rosbag.*	ros_numpy (https://github.com/eric-wieser/ros_numpy.git)
pointcloud.PCDModel	pypcd (https://github.com/klintan/pypcd.git)

Usage

By using Pydtk, you can load a variety of types of data with a unified interface as shown below.

1. Load DBHandler for retrieving metadata

from pydtk.db import DBHandler

# Initialize handler (This will read all the metadata from DB on initialization)
handler = DBHandler(
    db_class='meta',
    db_host='./examples/example_db',
    base_dir_path='./test'
)

2. Read metadata from db with data selection.

# Select by timestamp
handler.read(pql='start_timestamp > 1420000000 and end_timestamp < 1500000000')
print(handler.data)

# Select by record-id
handler.read(pql='record_id == regex("test.*")')
print(handler.data)

3. Load data from files based on metadata.

from pydtk.io import BaseFileReader, NoModelMatchedError

reader = BaseFileReader()

try:
    for sample in handler:
        print('loading content "{0}" from file "{1}"'.format(sample['contents'], sample['path']))
        try:
            timestamps, data, columns = reader.read(sample)
            assert print(data)
        except NoModelMatchedError as e:
            print(str(e))
            continue
except EOFError:
    pass
