unitpackage 0.13.2

a Python library to interact with a collection of frictionless datapackages

unitpackage

A Python library to create, interact with, and store collections of frictionless Data Packages whose tabular resources carry unit-aware field metadata. Each data package pairs a CSV file with a JSON descriptor containing schema information (column names, types, units) and arbitrary nested metadata.

Key features

• Unit-aware fields — columns carry unit metadata (e.g. V, A / m2, s) and can be rescaled to compatible units.
• Collections — load, filter, slice, and iterate over sets of data packages from local directories or remote sources.
• Metadata access — nested metadata is accessible via attribute-style or dict-style access.
• Plotting — built-in 2D plotting with plotly.
• Domain extensions — subclass Collection and Entry for domain-specific features (e.g. electrochemistry via Echemdb).

Quick example

>>> from unitpackage.collection import Collection
>>> db = Collection.from_local('./doc/files')
>>> entry = db['demo_package_cv']
>>> entry.echemdb.description
'Sample data for the unitpackage module'

Access field units and rescale data:

>>> entry.field_unit('j')
'A / m2'
>>> entry.rescale({'E' : 'mV', 'j' : 'uA / m2'}).df
          t           E             j
0  0.000000 -196.961730  43008.842162
1  0.011368 -196.393321  51408.199892
...

Plot directly from an entry:

>>> entry.plot()

Rescale an entire collection at once:

>>> rescaled = db.rescale({'E': 'mV', 'j': 'uA / m2'})
>>> rescaled[0].field_unit('E')
'mV'

Detailed usage examples, including local collection creation and metadata handling, are provided in the documentation.
