pydrobert-param
Utilities for the python package param.
While param is a great tool for keeping track of parameters, currently
serialization is restricted to pickling and unpickling objects.
pydrobert-param takes the stance that parameter (de)serialization has an
intuitive and obvious representation in most cases. The developer can modify
how pydrobert-param (de)serializes param.Parameterized instances according
to her needs.
A teaser:
import param
import pydrobert.param.serialization as serial
class Foo(param.Parameterized):
my_int = param.Integer(10)
first, second = Foo(), Foo()
first.my_int = 30
serial.serialize_to_json('foo.json', first)
serial.deserialize_from_json('foo.json', second)
assert first.my_int == second.my_int
While the primary purpose of pydrobert-param is for parameter
(de)serialization, there is also code in pydrobert.param.optuna for
hyperparameter optimization via Optuna. Check the
documentation for more complicated examples of serialization, as well as for
hyperparameter optimization.
This is student-driven code, so don’t expect a stable API. I’ll try to use semantic versioning, but the best way to keep functionality stable is by pinning the version in the requirements or by forking.
