Blob

`Blob`	A stored blob (arbitrary bytes) that can be searched and retrieved.
`BlobCollection`
`BlobDeletionTaskStatus`	The asynchronous deletion task's status

class Blob(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A stored blob (arbitrary bytes) that can be searched and retrieved.

Instantiating a blob indicates that you want to create a new Descartes Labs storage blob. If you instead want to retrieve an existing blob use Blob.get(). You can also use Blob.search(). Also see the example for upload().

Parameters:

client (CatalogClient, optional) – A CatalogClient instance to use for requests to the Descartes Labs catalog. The get_default_client() will be used if not set.
kwargs (dict) – With the exception of readonly attributes (created, modified) and with the exception of properties (ATTRIBUTES, is_modified, and state), any attribute listed below can also be used as a keyword argument. Also see ATTRIBUTES.

Note

The reader and writer IDs must be prefixed with email:, user:, group: or org:. The owner ID only accepts org: and user:. Using org: as an owner will assign those privileges only to administrators for that organization; using org: as a reader or writer assigns those privileges to everyone in that organization. The readers and writers attributes are only visible in full to the owners. If you are a reader or a writer those attributes will only display the element of those lists by which you are gaining read or write access.

Any user with owner privileges is able to read the blob attributes or data, modify the blob attributes, or delete the blob, including reading and modifying the owners, writers, and readers attributes.

Any user with writer privileges is able to read the blob attributes or data, or modify the blob attributes, but not delete the blob. A writer can read the owners and can only read the entry in the writers and/or readers by which they gain access to the blob.

Any user with reader privileges is able to read the blob attributes or data. A reader can read the owners and can only read the entry in the writers and/or readers by which they gain access to the blob.

reload(request_params=None, headers=None)

Reload all attributes from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Refresh the state of this catalog object from the object in the Descartes Labs catalog. This may be necessary if there are concurrent updates and the object in the Descartes Labs catalog was updated from another client. The instance state must be in the SAVED state.

If you want to revert a modified object to its original one, you should use get() on the object class with the object’s id.

Raises:

If this instance was created using the constructor, it will be in the UNSAVED state and is considered a new Descartes Labs catalog object that must be created. If the catalog object already exists in this case, this method will raise a BadRequestError.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and any of its values were changed, it will be in the MODIFIED state and the existing catalog object will be updated.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and none of its values were changed, it will be in the SAVED state, and if no request_params parameter is given, nothing will happen.

Parameters:

request_params (dict, optional) – A dictionary of attributes that should be sent to the catalog along with attributes already set on this object. Empty by default. If not empty, and the object is in the SAVED state, it is updated in the Descartes Labs catalog even though no attributes were modified.

Raises:

ConflictError – If you’re trying to create a new object and the object with given id already exists in the Descartes Labs catalog.
BadRequestError – If any of the attribute values are invalid.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

jsonapi_format (bool, optional) – Whether to use the data element for catalog objects. False by default. When set to False, the serialized data will directly contain the attributes of the catalog object. If set to True, the serialized data will follow the exact JSONAPI with a top-level data element which contains id, type, and attributes. The latter will contain the attributes of the catalog object.

update(ignore_errors=False, **kwargs)

Update multiple attributes at once using the given keyword arguments.

Parameters:

ignore_errors (bool, optional) – False by default. When set to True, it will suppress AttributeValidationError and AttributeError. Any given attribute that causes one of these two exceptions will be ignored, all other attributes will be set to the given values.

AttributeValidationError – If one or more of the attributes being updated are immutable.
AttributeError – If one or more of the attributes are not part of this catalog object.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.

map(f)

Returns a Collection of f applied to each item.

Parameters:: f (callable) – Apply function f to each element of the collection and return the result as a collection.
Returns:: A collection with the results of the function f applied to each element of the original collection.
Return type:: Collection

sort(field, ascending=True)

Returns a Collection, sorted by the given field and direction.

Parameters:

field (str) – The name of the field to sort by
ascending (bool) – Sorts results in ascending order if True (the default), and in descending order if False.

Returns:

The sorted collection.

Return type:

Collection

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import Product
>>> collection = Product.search().collect() 
>>> sorted_collection = collection.sort("created", ascending=False) 
>>> sorted_collection 

sorted(*predicates, **reverse)

Returns a Collection, sorted by predicates in ascending order.

Each predicate can be a key function, or a string of dot-chained attributes to use as sort keys. The reverse flag returns results in descending order.

Parameters:

predicates (callable or str) – Any positional arguments are predicates. If the predicate is a string, it denotes an attribute for each element, potentially with levels separated by a dot. If the predicate is a callable, it must return the value to sort by for each given element.
reverse (bool) – The sort is ascending by default, by setting reverse to True, the sort will be descending.

Returns:

The sorted collection.

Return type:

Collection

Examples

>>> import collections
>>> FooBar = collections.namedtuple("FooBar", ["foo", "bar"])
>>> X = collections.namedtuple("X", "x")
>>> c = Collection([FooBar(1, X("one")), FooBar(2, X("two")), FooBar(3, X("three"))])

>>> c.sorted("foo")
Collection([FooBar(foo=1, bar=X(x='one')), FooBar(foo=2, bar=X(x='two')), FooBar(foo=3, bar=X(x='three'))])
>>> c.sorted("bar.x")
Collection([FooBar(foo=1, bar=X(x='one')), FooBar(foo=3, bar=X(x='three')), FooBar(foo=2, bar=X(x='two'))])

property each

Any operations chained onto each (attribute access, item access, and calls) are applied to each item in the Collection.

Yields:: Any – The result of an item with all operations following each applied to it.

Notes

Add combine() at the end of the operations chain to combine the results into a list by default, or any container type passed into combine()
Use pipe(f, *args, **kwargs) to yield f(x, *args, **kwargs) for each item x yielded by the preceeding operations chain

Examples

>>> c = Collection(["one", "two", "three", "four"])
>>> for x in c.each.capitalize():
...     print(x)
One
Two
Three
Four
>>> c.each.capitalize()[:2]
'On'
'Tw'
'Th'
'Fo'
>>> c.each.capitalize().pipe(len)
3
3
5
4
>>> list(c.each.capitalize().pipe(len).combine(set))
[3, 4, 5]

Wait for the task to complete.

Parameters:: timeout (int, optional) – If specified, will wait up to specified number of seconds and will raise a concurrent.futures.TimeoutError if the task has not completed.
Raises:: concurrent.futures.TimeoutError – If the specified timeout elapses and the task has not completed
