autopopulate.py

This module defines class dj.AutoPopulate

AutoPopulate

AutoPopulate is a mixin class that adds the method populate() to a Table class. Auto-populated tables must inherit from both Table and AutoPopulate, must define the property key_source, and must define the callback method make.

Type Description

the query expression that yields primary key values to be passed, sequentially, to the make method when populate() is called.

make(key)

Type Description

table to be populated. In the typical case, dj.AutoPopulate is mixed into a dj.Table class by inheritance and the target is self.

populate(*restrictions, suppress_errors=False, return_exception_objects=False, reserve_jobs=False, order='original', limit=None, max_calls=None, display_progress=False, processes=1, make_kwargs=None)

table.populate() calls table.make(key) for every primary key in self.key_source for which there is not already a tuple in table.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
restrictions

a list of restrictions each restrict (table.key_source - target.proj())

()
suppress_errors

if True, do not terminate execution.

False
return_exception_objects

return error objects instead of just error messages

False
reserve_jobs

if True, reserve jobs to populate in asynchronous fashion

False
order

"original"|"reverse"|"random" - the order of execution

'original'
limit

if not None, check at most this many keys

None
max_calls

if not None, populate at most this many keys

None
display_progress

if True, report progress_bar

False
processes

number of processes to use. Set to None to use all cores

1
make_kwargs dict, optional

Keyword arguments which do not affect the result of computation to be passed down to each make() call. Computation arguments should be specified within the pipeline e.g. using a dj.Lookup table.

None
