spinesUtils 0.5.0

spinesUtils is a user-friendly toolkit for python development.

spinesUtils

Accelerate your Python development workflow

Overview

spinesUtils is a powerful library that provides ready-to-use features and utilities for Python development to shorten the project development cycle. Our goal is to help developers focus on solving their core problems instead of reimplementing common functionality.

Features

• Logging functionality - Simplified logging without handler conflicts
• Type checking and parameter validation - Robust validation decorators
• CSV file reading acceleration - Performance-optimized data loading
• Imbalanced data classifiers - Specialized ML tools for imbalanced datasets
• Pandas DataFrame data compression - Memory optimization for large datasets
• DataFrame insight tools - Quick data analysis and visualization
• Large data train-test splitting - Efficient data partitioning for ML pipelines
• Intuitive timer - Simple timing and benchmarking tools

This library is currently undergoing rapid iteration. If you encounter any issues with its functionalities, feel free to raise an issue.

Installation

You can install spinesUtils from PyPI:

pip install spinesUtils

Usage Examples

Logger

The Logger class provides convenient logging without worrying about handler conflicts with the native Python logging module.

# load spinesUtils module
from spinesUtils.logging import Logger

# create a logger instance, with name "MyLogger", and no file handler, the default level is "INFO"
# You can specify a file path `fp` during instantiation. If not specified, logs will not be written to a file.
logger = Logger(name="MyLogger", fp=None, level="DEBUG")

logger.log("This is an info log emitted by the log function.", level='INFO')
logger.debug("This is an debug message")
logger.info("This is an info message.")
logger.warning("This is an warning message.")
logger.error("This is an error message.")
logger.critical("This is an critical message.")

Type Checking and Parameter Validation

Ensure your functions receive the correct input types and values:

from spinesUtils.asserts import *

# Check parameter type
@ParameterTypeAssert({
    'a': (int, float),
    'b': (int, float)
})
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

# Check parameter value
@ParameterValuesAssert({
    'a': lambda x: x > 0,
    'b': lambda x: x > 0
})
def divide(a, b):
    return a / b

# Generate function kwargs
params = generate_function_kwargs(add, a=1, b=2)

CSV Reading Acceleration

Read large CSV files efficiently:

from spinesUtils import read_csv

df = read_csv(
    fp='/path/to/your/file.csv',
    sep=',',  # equal to pandas read_csv.sep
    turbo_method='polars',  # use turbo_method to speed up load time
    chunk_size=None,  # it can be integer if you want to use pandas backend
    transform2low_mem=True,  # compresses file to save memory
    verbose=False
)

Classifiers for Imbalanced Data

Handle imbalanced datasets effectively:

from spinesUtils.models import MultiClassBalanceClassifier
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

classifier = MultiClassBalanceClassifier(
    base_estimator=RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100),
    n_classes=3,
    random_state=0,
    verbose=0
)

# Fit and predict as you would with any scikit-learn estimator
classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = classifier.predict(X_test)

DataFrame Data Compression

Optimize memory usage for large DataFrames:

from spinesUtils import transform_dtypes_low_mem

# Compress a single DataFrame
transform_dtypes_low_mem(df, verbose=True, inplace=True)

# Batch compress multiple DataFrames
from spinesUtils import transform_batch_dtypes_low_mem
transform_batch_dtypes_low_mem([df1, df2, df3, df4], verbose=True, inplace=True)

DataFrame Insight Tools

Quickly analyze your data:

from spinesUtils import df_preview, classify_samples_dist

# Get comprehensive DataFrame insights
df_insight = df_preview(df)

Data Splitting Utilities

Efficiently split large datasets:

from spinesUtils import train_test_split_bigdata, train_test_split_bigdata_df
from spinesUtils.feature_tools import get_x_cols

# Return numpy arrays
X_train, X_valid, X_test, y_train, y_valid, y_test = train_test_split_bigdata(
    df=df, 
    x_cols=get_x_cols(df, y_col='target_column'),
    y_col='target_column', 
    shuffle=True,
    return_valid=True,
    train_size=0.8,
    valid_size=0.5
)

# Return pandas DataFrames
train_df, valid_df, test_df = train_test_split_bigdata_df(
    df=df, 
    x_cols=get_x_cols(df, y_col='target_column'),
    y_col='target_column', 
    shuffle=True,
    return_valid=True,
    train_size=0.8,
    valid_size=0.5
)

Timer Utility

Time your code execution simply:

from spinesUtils.timer import Timer

# As a context manager
with Timer().session() as t:
    # Your code here
    t.sleep(1)
    print(f"Step 1 time: {t.last_timestamp_diff():.2f}s")
    
    # Mark a middle point
    t.middle_point()
    
    # More code
    t.sleep(2)
    print(f"Step 2 time: {t.last_timestamp_diff():.2f}s")
    
print(f"Total time: {t.total_elapsed_time():.2f}s")

# Or use it manually
timer = Timer()
timer.start()
# Your code here
timer.end()
print(f"Elapsed: {timer.total_elapsed_time():.2f}s")
