sleap.util

sleap.util#

A miscellaneous set of utility functions.

Try not to put things in here unless they really have no other place.

sleap.util.attr_to_dtype(cls: Any)[source]#

Converts classes with basic types to numpy composite dtypes.

Parameters:

cls – class to convert

Returns:

numpy dtype.

sleap.util.dict_cut(d: Dict, a: int, b: int) → Dict[source]#

Helper function for creating subdictionary by numeric indexing of items.

Assumes that dict.items() will have a fixed order.

Parameters:

  • d – The dictionary to “split”

  • a – Start index of range of items to include in result.

  • b – End index of range of items to include in result.

Returns:

A dictionary that contains a subset of the items in the original dict.

sleap.util.find_files_by_suffix(root_dir: str, suffix: str, prefix: str = '', depth: int = 0) → List[DirEntry][source]#

Returns list of files matching suffix, optionally searching in subdirs.

Parameters:

  • root_dir – Path to directory where we start searching

  • suffix – File suffix to match (e.g., ‘.json’)

  • prefix – Optional file prefix to match

  • depth – How many subdirectories deep to keep searching

Returns:

List of os.DirEntry objects.

sleap.util.frame_list(frame_str: str) → List[int] | None[source]#

Converts ‘n-m’ string to list of ints.

Parameters:

frame_str – string representing range

Returns:

List of ints, or None if string does not represent valid range.

sleap.util.get_config_file(shortname: str, ignore_file_not_found: bool = False, get_defaults: bool = False) → str[source]#

Returns the full path to the specified config file.

The config file will be at ~/.sleap/<version>/<shortname>

If that file doesn’t yet exist, we’ll look for a <shortname> file inside the package config directory (sleap/config) and copy the file into the user’s config directory (creating the directory if needed).

Parameters:

  • shortname – The short filename, e.g., shortcuts.yaml

  • ignore_file_not_found – If True, then return path for config file regardless of whether it exists.

  • get_defaults – If True, then just return the path to default config file.

Raises:

FileNotFoundError – If the specified config file cannot be found.

Returns:

The full path to the specified config file.

sleap.util.get_package_file(filename: str) → str[source]#

Returns full path to specified file within sleap package.

sleap.util.json_dumps(d: Dict, filename: str | None = None)[source]#

A simple wrapper around the JSON encoder we are using.

Parameters:

  • d – The dict to write.

  • filename – The filename to write to.

Returns:

None

sleap.util.json_loads(json_str: str) → Dict[source]#

A simple wrapper around the JSON decoder we are using.

Parameters:

json_str – JSON string to decode.

Returns:

Result of decoding JSON string.

sleap.util.make_scoped_dictionary(flat_dict: Dict[str, Any], exclude_nones: bool = True) → Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]][source]#

Converts dictionary with scoped keys to dictionary of dictionaries.

Parameters:

  • flat_dict – The dictionary to convert. Keys should be strings with scope.foo format.

  • exclude_nodes – Whether to exclude items where value is None.

Returns:

Dictionary in which keys are scope and values are dictionary with

foo (etc) as keys and original value of scope.foo as value.

sleap.util.parse_uri_path(uri: str) → str[source]#

Parse a URI starting with ‘file:///’ to a posix path.

sleap.util.save_dict_to_hdf5(h5file: File, path: str, dic: dict)[source]#

Saves dictionary to an HDF5 file.

Calls itself recursively if items in dictionary are not np.ndarray, np.int64, np.float64, str, or bytes. Objects must be iterable.

Parameters:

  • h5file – The HDF5 filename object to save the data to. Assume it is open.

  • path – The path to group save the dict under.

  • dic – The dict to save.

Raises:

ValueError – If type for item in dict cannot be saved.

Returns:

None

sleap.util.uniquify(seq: Iterable[Hashable]) → List[source]#

Returns unique elements from list, preserving order.

Note: This will not work on Python 3.5 or lower since dicts don’t preserve order.

Parameters:

seq – The list to remove duplicates from.

Returns:

The unique elements from the input list extracted in original order.

sleap.util.usable_cpu_count() → int[source]#

Gets number of CPUs usable by the current process.

Takes into consideration cpusets restrictions.

Returns:

The number of usable cpus

sleap.util.weak_filename_match(filename_a: str, filename_b: str) → bool[source]#

Check if paths probably point to same file.

Compares the filename and names of two directories up.

Parameters:

  • filename_a – first path to check

  • filename_b – path to check against first path

Returns:

True if the paths probably match.
