Module contents#

Module to work with data in an Experiment Directory Layout (EDL) structure

class edlio.EDLCollection(name=None)#

Bases: EDLGroup

An EDL Collection

__init__(name=None)#

Create a new EDL collection.

If the collection has no name and path set, it can not be saved to disk.

Parameters:

name (str | None) – Name of this collection, or None

property collection_idname: str#

Retrieve a human-readable string for this collection which is most likely (but not guaranteed to be) unique. If this collection has no properties set, the value of this property may be None or empty. The format of the returned string is arbitrary and should not be parsed.

property generator_id: str | None#

Identification string of the software which generated this EDL unit.

class edlio.EDLDataset(name=None)#

Bases: EDLUnit

An EDL Dataset

__init__(name=None)#

Create a new EDL dataset.

If the dataset has no name and path set, it can not be saved to disk.

Parameters:

name (str | None) – Name of this dataset, or None

add_aux_data(adf)#
Return type:

None

property aux_data: list[EDLDataFile]#

load(path, mf=None)#

Load an EDL dataset from a path.

Parameters:
Return type:

None

read_aux_data(key=None)#

Read auxiliary data from this dataset.

Parameters:

key (str | None) – Identifier key for the auxiliary dataset to load. Will look for a substring match in file_type/media_type properties of the data first, then look for a summary text match to determine which data was requested. If not set, the first dataset is loaded.

Return type:

Any | None

read_data(**kwargs)#

Read data from this dataset.

Returns a generator to read data from this dataset by individual chunks, taking auxiliary data into account.

Return type:

edlio.Q_#

alias of Quantity

edlio.load(path)#

Open an EDL unit via its filesystem path.

This function will read an EDL unit on the filesystem and return an object representing it. Depending on the type of the EDL unit, the returned datatype may be a collection, group or dataset.

Parameters:

path (str | PathLike[str]) – The filesystem location of the EDL unit.

Returns:

An EDL unit.
