add_single_to_cache(idx, json)¶

Add a single object to cache by json

Parameters:	idx (int) – the index where the object was stored json (str) – json string the represents a serialized version of the stored object

args()¶

Return a list of args of the __init__ function of a class

Returns:	the list of argument names. No information about defaults is included.
Return type:	list of str

base()¶

Return the most parent class that is actually derived from Storable(Named)Object

Important to determine which store should be used for storage

Returns:	the base class
Return type:	type

base_cls¶

Return the base class

Returns:	the base class
Return type:	type

See also

base()

base_cls_name¶

Return the name of the base class

Returns:	the string representation of the base class
Return type:	str

cache_all()¶: Load all samples as fast as possible into the cache

clear_cache()¶: Clear the cache and force reloading

cls¶

Return the class name as a string

Returns:	the class name
Return type:	str

count_weaks()¶

Return the counts of how many objects of storable type are still in memory

This includes objects not yet recycled by the garbage collector.

Returns:	dict of str – the dictionary which assigns the base class name of each references objects the integer number of objects still present
Return type:	int

create_variable(name, var_type, dimensions=None, chunksizes=None, **kwargs)¶

Create a new variable in the netCDF storage. This is just a helper function to structure the code better.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the variable to be created
var_type (str) – The string representing the type of the data stored in the variable. Allowed are strings of native python types in which case the variables will be treated as python or a string of the form ‘numpy.type’ which will refer to the numpy data types. Numpy is preferred sinec the api to netCDF uses numpy and thus it is faster. Possible input strings are int, float, long, str, numpy.float32, numpy.float64, numpy.int8, numpy.int16, numpy.int32, numpy.int64
dimensions (str or tuple of str) – A tuple representing the dimensions used for the netcdf variable. If not specified then the default dimension of the storage is used.
simtk_units (str) – A string representing the units used if the var_type is float the units is set to none
description (str) – A string describing the variable in a readable form.
variable_length (bool) – If true the variable is treated as a variable length (list) of the given type. A built-in example for this type is a string which is a variable length of char. This make using all the mixed stuff superfluous
chunksizes (tuple of int or int) – A tuple of ints per number of dimensions. This specifies in what block sizes a variable is stored. Usually for object related stuff we want to store everything of one object at once so this is often (1, ..., ...). A single int is interpreted as a tuple with one entry.

default_name¶

Return the default name.

Usually derived from the objects class

Returns:	the default name
Return type:	str

descendants()¶

Return a list of all subclassed objects

Returns:	list of subclasses of a storable object
Return type:	list of type

find(name)¶

Return last object with a given name

Parameters:	name (str) – the name to be searched for
Returns:	the last object with a given name. This is to mimic immutable object. Once you (re-)save with the same name you replace the old one and hence you leed to load the last stored one.
Return type:	`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`

find_indices(name)¶

Return indices for all objects with a given name

Parameters:	name (str) – the name to be searched for
Returns:	a list of indices in the storage for all found objects, can be empty [] if no objects with that name exist
Return type:	list of int

first¶

Returns the first stored object.

Returns:	the actual first stored object
Return type:	`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`

fix_name()¶

Set the objects name to be immutable.

Usually called after load and save to fix the stored state.

free()¶

Return the number of the next free index for this store

Returns:	index – the number of the next free index in the storage. Used to store a new object.
Return type:	int

from_dict(dct)¶

Reconstruct an object from a dictionary representaiton

Parameters:	dct (dict) – the dictionary containing a state representaion of the class.
Returns:	the reconstructed storable object
Return type:	`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.StorableObject`

idx(obj)¶

Return the index in this store for a given object

Parameters:	obj (`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`) – the object that can be stored in this store for which its index is to be returned
Returns:	The integer index of the given object or None if it is not stored yet
Return type:	int or None

is_named¶

True if this object has a custom name.

This distinguishes default algorithmic names from assigned names.

iterator(this, iter_range=None)¶

Return an iterator over all objects in the storage

Parameters:	iter_range (slice or None) – if this is not None it confines the iterator to objects specified in the slice
Returns:	The iterator that iterates the objects in the store
Return type:	`Iterator()`

last¶

Returns the last generated trajectory. Useful to continue a run.

Returns:	the last stored object in this store
Return type:	`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`

load(idx)¶

Returns an object from the storage.

Parameters:	idx (str) – a string (name) of the objects. This will always return the last object found with the specified name. If immutable is true for the store it assures that there is only a single object per name
Returns:	the loaded object
Return type:	`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`

name¶

Return the current name of the object.

If no name has been set a default generated name is returned.

Returns:	the name of the object
Return type:	str

name_idx¶

Returns a dictionary of all names pointing to stored indices

Returns:	dict of str – A dictionary that has all stored names as keys and the values are a set of indices where an object with this name is found.
Return type:	set

named(name)¶

Name an unnamed object.

This only renames the object if it does not yet have a name. It can be used to chain the naming onto the object creation. It should also be used when naming things algorithmically: directly setting the .name attribute could override a user-defined name.

Examples

>>> import openpathsampling as p
>>> full = p.FullVolume().named('myFullVolume')

objects()¶

Returns a dictionary of all storable objects

Returns:	dict of str – a dictionary of all subclassed objects from StorableObject. The name points to the class.
Return type:	type

op_idx¶

Returns a function that returns for an object of this storage the idx. This can be used to construct order parameters the return the index in this storage. Useful for visualization

Returns:	the function that reports the index (int) in this store or None if it is not stored
Return type:	function

proxy(item)¶

Return a proxy of a object for this store

Parameters:	item (`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject` or int) – The item or index that points to an object in this store and to which a proxy is requested.

register(storage, prefix)¶

Associate the object store to a specific storage with a given prefix

Parameters:	storage (`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.NetCDFPlus`) – the storage to be associated with prefix (str) – the name under which

release_idx(idx)¶

Releases a lock on an idx

Parameters:	idx (int) – the integer index to be released

reserve_idx(idx)¶

Locks an idx as used

Parameters:	idx (int) – the integer index to be reserved

save(obj, idx=None)[source]¶

Saves an object to the storage.

Parameters:	obj (`openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject`) – the object to be stored idx (int or string or None) – the index to be used for storing. This is highly discouraged since it changes an immutable object (at least in the storage). It is better to store also the new object and just ignore the previously stored one.

set_caching(caching)¶

Set the caching mode for this store

Parameters:	caching (`openpathsampling.netcdf.Cache`) –

set_observer(active)¶

(De-)Activate observing creation of storable objects

This can be used to track which storable objects are still alive and hence look for memory leaks and inspect caching. Use openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject.count_weaks() to get the current summary of created objects

Parameters:	active (bool) – if True then observing is enabled. False disables observing. Per default observing is disabled.
