Syphon

A CSV data storage and management engine.

Syphon is a Python package that provides a simple interface to perform common tasks on labelled data. Its aim is to fit seamlessly into any automation pipeline that requires organization and collation of large datasets.

Features

• Archive file(s) into a data storage directory.
  • Automatic archive organization based on the value of a data column (if a .schema.json file is present).
  • Quickly append new archive files onto a previously built data file.
• Build a single data file from the contents of the archive directory.
• Initialize new archive directories by creating a storage schema (.schema.json) file.

Basic Usage

Initialize an archive directory:

python -m syphon init ./storage/folder some_column_header "another column header"

Archive one or more files with direct paths, wildcard patterns, or a combination of both:

python -m syphon archive /path/to/data.csv ./storage/folder

python -m syphon archive /path/to/data.csv /path/to/more/*.csv ./storage/folder

Build a single data file from an archive directory:

python -m syphon build ./storage/folder all_data.csv

Archive additional data and append it to a previously built data file:

python -m syphon archive /path/to/still/more/*.csv ./storage/folder -i all_data.csv

General command line documentation and subcommand documentation can be accessed via

 python -m syphon --help

 python -m syphon SUBCOMMAND --help
