Data artifact storage and access.

Overview

A data artifact is an archive on disk that packages data. This package provides:

• Artifact: the in-memory model wrapping the on-disk archive

• ArtifactException: raised on inconsistent artifact use

• EntityKey: the structured key type used to address artifact contents

• is_entity_key: helper to check whether a string is a valid entity key

The above names are re-exported at the package root (from vivarium.artifact import Artifact).

Note

The Manager and Interface classes that integrate artifacts into a vivarium simulation lifecycle live in the vivarium package at vivarium.framework.artifact. Those classes import from this package.
