unibox

unibox provides unified interface for common file operations.

Quick Start

# pip install unibox
import unibox as ub

some common use cases of unibox includes:

loading various file types in the same way:

• supports json, txt, images, parquet, csv, feather, ....
• uses appropriate best practices (such as orjson package for json) for speed ups

some_dict = ub.loads("some_file.json")    # json → dict
some_list = ub.loads("some_file.txt")     # txt  → list[str]
some_img  = ub.loads("some_image.jpg")    # webp/jpg/png/..etc → PIL.Image
some_df   = ub.loads("some_data.parquet") # parquet/csv/feather → pd.Dataframe

# .... for more: see uni_loader.py#L40

saving various python data structure in the same way:

• similar as ub.loads but also for saving files

ub.saves(some_dict, "some_file.json") # similar as above
ub.saves(some_df, "some_df.parquet")

list s3 or local directories in the same way:

• default optional params: relative_unix=True, debug_print=True
• optimized s3 ls speed compared to boto3

files_under_dir = ub.traverses("/home/ubuntu/data")  # list local file

# needs to have `aws configure` pre-configured
files_under_s3  = ub.traverses("s3://dataset-pixiv/resized_1572864") # list s3 files

simplified logger class for easier debug:

• a logger with functionalities pre-configured
• includes caller frame info, emoji warnings, datetime, and more

import unibox as ub

logger = ub.UniLogger()

def some_function(): 
    logger.info("some info") 
    # logger.warning("....")
    # logger.error("....")

some_function()
# 2024-05-08 17:57:23,149 [INFO] UniLogger: some_function: some info

resize millions of images efficiently:

• (pre-configured omitted here for simplicity; saves to 98% quality WEBP by default)
• also able to resize by minimum or maximum of side lengths,

# root_dir: where the images to be resized are
target_pixels = int(1024 * 1024 * 1.5)
resizer = ub.UniResizer(root_dir, dst_dir, target_pixels)

# get resize jobs
images_to_resize = resizer.get_resize_jobs()

# execute resize jobs
resizer.execute_resize_jobs(images_to_resize)

Install

install from pypi:

pip install unibox

build from source:

git clone https://github.com/trojblue/unibox

# pip install poetry
poetry install
poetry build
pip install dist/unibox-<version number>.whl

[OLD DOC] Features

The package is designed to be running with python 3.10, but targets 3.8+ for compatibility:

CLI:

• unibox resize <dir>: resizes a directory of images using either pillow or libvips
  • customizable size / quality / encoding (png / webp / jpeg)
• unibox copy <dir>: an awscli-like tool for copying files with certain suffix to a new dir, keeping the same directory structure.
  • bypasses windows explorer so it's much faster.
• unibox move <dir>: like copy, but moves instead

utils:

• UniLogger: uniformed logger class (logger = unibox.UniLogger(), and use logger.info(...))
• UniLoader: uniformed data loader class (unibox.loads(<filename>))
• UniSaver: uniformed data saver class (unibox.saves(<data>, <filename>))
• UniTraverser: uniformed directory traverser class, with callbacks in multiple stages
• UniResizer: uniformed image resizer class, with callbacks in multiple stages

callables:

• unibox.traverses(dir, include, exclude, relative_unix): traverse a directory using specified exclude / include extensions, and return a list of files
• unibox.loads(filepath): load arbitrary data from a file into suitable formats, with automatic detection of file type
  • supported formats: see UniLoader class implementation
• unibox.saves(data, filepath): saves arbitrary data to a file, with automatic detection of file type
