graph: Graph = {'config': {}}

A dask-format graph (see 1, 2).

Dictionary keys are either Key, str, or any other hashable value.

Dictionary values are computations, one of:

Any other, existing key in the Computer. This functions as an alias.
Any other literal value or constant, to be returned directly.
A task tuple: a callable (e.g. function), followed by zero or more computations, e.g. keys for other tasks.
A list containing zero or more of (1), (2), and/or (3).

genno reserves some keys for special usage:

"config": A dict storing configuration settings. See Configuration. Because this information is stored in the graph, it can be used as one input to other computations.

Some inputs to tasks may be confused for (1) or (4), above. The recommended way to protect these is:

Literal str inputs to tasks: use functools.partial() on the function that is the first element of the task tuple.
list of str: use dask.core.quote() to wrap the list.

add(data, *args, **kwargs)[source]

General-purpose method to add computations.

add() can be called in several ways; its behaviour depends on data; see below. It chains to methods such as add_single(), add_queue(), and/or apply(); each can also be called directly.

Returns: Some or all of the keys added to the Computer.
Return type: list of Key-like

Returns

The full key of the new quantity.

Return type

Key

Raises

KeyExistsError – If strict is True and either (a) key already exists; or (b) sums is True and the key for one of the partial sums of key already exists.
MissingKeyError – If strict is True and any key referred to by computation does not exist.

The key of the newly-added node.

Return type

Key

c.full_key("foo:c")
# etc.

Raises: KeyError – if name_or_key is not in the graph.

get(key=None)[source]

Execute and return the result of the computation key.

Only key and its dependencies are computed.

Parameters: key (str, optional) – If not provided, default_key is used.
Raises: ValueError – If key and default_key are both None.

get_comp(name) → Optional[Callable][source]

str, the same as input, if the key is not defined in the Computer.

Parameters

key_or_keys (str or Key or list of str or Key) –
dims (list of str, optional) – Drop all but these dimensions from the returned key(s).

Returns

str or Key – If key_or_keys is a single KeyLike.
list of str or Key – If key_or_keys is an iterable of KeyLike.

keys()[source]: Return the keys of graph.

modules: MutableSequence[module] = []

List of modules containing pre-defined computations.

By default, this includes the genno built-in computations in genno.computations. require_compat() appends additional modules, e.g. #: compat.pyam.computations, to this list. User code may also add modules to this list.

require_compat(pkg: Union[str, module])[source]

Register computations from genno.compat/others for get_comp().

The specified module is appended to modules.

Parameters

pkg (str or module) –

One of:

the name of a package (e.g. “plotnine”), corresponding to a submodule of genno.compat, e.g. genno.compat.plotnine. genno.compat.{pkg}.computations is added.
the name of an arbitary module, e.g. “foo.bar”
a previously imported module object.

Raises

ModuleNotFoundError – If the required packages are missing.

Examples

Computations packaged with genno for compatibility:

>>> c = Computer()
>>> c.require_compat("pyam")

Computations in another module, using the module name:

>>> c.require_compat("ixmp.reporting.computations")

or using imported module:

>>> import ixmp.reporting.computations as mod
>>> c.require_compat(mod)

property unit_registry: The pint.UnitRegistry() used by the Computer.

visualize(filename, **kwargs)[source]

Generate an image describing the Computer structure.

This is a shorthand for dask.visualize(). Requires graphviz.

write(key, path)[source]: Write the result of key to the file path.

class genno.Key(name: str, dims: Iterable[str] = [], tag: Optional[str] = None)[source]

A hashable key for a quantity that includes its dimensionality.

Quantities are indexed by 0 or more dimensions. A Key refers to a quantity using three components:

a string name,
zero or more ordered dims, and
an optional tag.

For example, for a $\text{foo}$ with with three dimensions $a, b, c$:

\[\text{foo}^{abc}\]

Key allows a specific, explicit reference to various forms of “foo”:

in its full resolution, i.e. indexed by a, b, and c:

>>> k1 = Key("foo", ["a", "b", "c"])
>>> k1
<foo:a-b-c>

in a partial sum over one dimension, e.g. summed across dimension c, with remaining dimensions a and b:
```
>>> k2 = k1.drop('c')
>>> k2 == 'foo:a-b'
True
```

in a partial sum over multiple dimensions, etc.:

>>> k1.drop('a', 'c') == k2.drop('a') == 'foo:b'
True

after it has been manipulated by other computations, e.g.

>>> k3 = k1.add_tag('normalized')
>>> k3
<foo:a-b-c:normalized>
>>> k4 = k3.add_tag('rescaled')
>>> k4
<foo:a-b-c:normalized+rescaled>

Notes:

A Key has the same hash, and compares equal to its str representation. A Key also compares equal to another key or str with the same dimensions in any other order. repr(key) prints the Key in angle brackets (‘<>’) to signify that it is a Key object.

>>> str(k1)
'foo:a-b-c'
>>> repr(k1)
'<foo:a-b-c>'
>>> hash(k1) == hash("foo:a-b-c")
True
>>> k1 == "foo:c-b-a"
True

Keys are immutable: the properties name, dims, and tag are read-only, and the methods append(), drop(), and add_tag() return new Key objects.

Keys may be generated concisely by defining a convenience method:

>>> def foo(dims):
>>>     return Key('foo', dims.split())
>>> foo('a b c')
<foo:a-b-c>

add_tag(tag)[source]: Return a new Key with tag appended.

append(*dims: str)[source]: Return a new Key with additional dimensions dims.

classmethod bare_name(value) → Optional[str][source]: If value is a bare name (no dims or tags), return it; else None.

property dims: Tuple[str, ...]: Dimensions of the quantity, tuple of str.

drop(*dims: Union[str, bool])[source]: Return a new Key with dims dropped.

classmethod from_str_or_key(value: Union[Key, Hashable], drop: Union[Iterable[str], bool] = [], append: Iterable[str] = [], tag: Optional[str] = None) → Key[source]

Return a new Key from value.

Parameters

value (str or Key) – Value to use to generate a new Key.
drop (list of str or True, optional) – Existing dimensions of value to drop. See drop().
append (list of str, optional.) – New dimensions to append to the returned Key. See append().
tag (str, optional) – Tag for returned Key. If value has a tag, the two are joined using a ‘+’ character. See add_tag().

Return type

Key

iter_sums() → Generator[Tuple[Key, Callable, Key], None, None][source]: Generate (key, task) for all possible partial sums of the Key.

property name: str: Name of the quantity, str.

classmethod product(new_name: str, *keys, tag: Optional[str] = None) → Key[source]

Return a new Key that has the union of dimensions on keys.

Dimensions are ordered by their first appearance:

First, the dimensions of the first of the keys.
Next, any additional dimensions in the second of the keys that were not already added in step 1.
etc.

Parameters: new_name (str) – Name for the new Key. The names of keys are discarded.

property sorted: Key: A version of the Key with its dims sorted alphabetically.

property tag: Optional[str]: Quantity tag, str or None.

class genno.Quantity(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A sparse data structure that behaves like xarray.DataArray.

Depending on the value of CLASS, Quantity is either AttrSeries or SparseDataArray.

classmethod from_series(series, sparse=True)[source]: Convert series to the Quantity class given by CLASS.

property name: Optional[Hashable]: The name of this quantity.

to_series() → Series[source]: Like xarray.DataArray.to_series().

property units

Retrieve or set the units of the Quantity.

Examples

Create a quantity without units:

>>> qty = Quantity(...)

Set using a string; automatically converted to pint.Unit:

>>> qty.units = "kg"
>>> qty.units
<Unit('kilogram')>

The Quantity constructor converts its arguments to an internal, xarray.DataArray-like data format:

# Existing data
data = pd.Series(...)

# Convert to a Quantity for use in reporting calculations
qty = Quantity(data, name="Quantity name", units="kg")
rep.add("new_qty", qty)

Common genno usage, e.g. in message_ix, creates large, sparse data frames (billions of possible elements, but <1% populated); DataArray’s default, ‘dense’ storage format would be too large for available memory.

Currently, Quantity is AttrSeries, a wrapped pandas.Series that behaves like a DataArray.
In the future, genno will use SparseDataArray, and eventually DataArray backed by sparse data, directly.

The goal is that all genno-based code, including built-in and user computations, can treat quantity arguments as if they were DataArray.

genno.computations.apply_units(qty: Quantity, units: Union[str, Unit, Quantity]) → Quantity[source]

Apply units to qty.

If qty has existing units…

…with compatible dimensionality to units, the magnitudes are adjusted, i.e. behaves like convert_units().
…with incompatible dimensionality to units, the units attribute is overwritten and magnitudes are not changed, i.e. like assign_units(), with a log message on level WARNING.

To avoid ambiguities between the two cases, use convert_units() or assign_units() instead.

Convert magnitude of qty from its current units to units.

Parameters

If the label is not provided, index_to() uses the label in the first position along the identified dimension.

Parameters

qty (Quantity) –
dim_or_selector (str or mapping) – If a string, the ID of the dimension to index along. If a mapping, it must have only one element, mapping a dimension ID to a label.

Interpolate qty.

For the meaning of arguments, see xarray.DataArray.interp(). When CLASS is AttrSeries, only 1-dimensional interpolation (one key in coords) is tested/supported.

Read the file at path and return its contents as a Quantity.

Some file formats are automatically converted into objects for direct use in genno computations:

.csv:: Converted to Quantity. CSV files must have a ‘value’ column; all others are treated as indices, except as given by dims. Lines beginning with ‘#’ are ignored.

Parameters

path (pathlib.Path) – Path to the file to read.
dims (collections.abc.Collection or collections.abc.Mapping, optional) – If a collection of names, other columns besides these and ‘value’ are discarded. If a mapping, the keys are the column labels in path, and the values are the target dimension names.

genno.computations.pow(a, b)[source]

Compute a raised to the power of b.

Todo

Provide units on the result in the special case where b is a Quantity but all its values are the same int.

Returns: If b is int, then the quantity has the units of a raised to this power; e.g. “kg²” → “kg⁴” if b is 2. In other cases, there are no meaningful units, so the returned quantity is dimensionless.
Return type: .Quantity

genno.computations.product(*quantities: Quantity) → Quantity: Alias of mul(), for backwards compatibility.

Note

This may be deprecated and possibly removed in a future version.

genno.computations.ratio(numerator, denominator): Alias of mul(), for backwards compatibility.

dim_labels – Mappings given as keyword arguments, where argument name is the dimension.

Raises

ValueError – if both labels and dim_labels are given.

genno.computations.rename_dims(qty: Quantity, new_name_or_name_dict: Optional[Union[Hashable, Mapping[Any, Hashable]]] = None, **names: Hashable) → Quantity[source]

class genno.core.attrseries.AttrSeries(*args, **kwargs)[source]

pandas.Series subclass imitating xarray.DataArray.

The AttrSeries class provides similar methods and behaviour to xarray.DataArray, so that genno.computations functions and user code can use xarray-like syntax. In particular, this allows such code to be agnostic about the order of dimensions.

Parameters

units (str or pint.Unit, optional) – Set the units attribute. The value is converted to pint.Unit and added to attrs.
attrs (Mapping, optional) – Set the attrs of the AttrSeries. This attribute was added in pandas 1.0, but is not currently supported by the Series constructor.

class genno.core.sparsedataarray.SparseAccessor(obj)[source]

xarray accessor to help SparseDataArray.

class genno.core.sparsedataarray.SparseDataArray(*args, **kwargs)[source]

DataArray with sparse data.

SparseDataArray uses sparse.COO for storage with numpy.nan as its sparse.COO.fill_value. Some methods of DataArray are overridden to ensure data is in sparse, or dense, format as necessary, to provide expected functionality not currently supported by sparse, and to avoid exhausting memory for some operations that require dense data.

Convert this array and its coords into a DataFrame.

Overrides to_dataframe().

to_series() → Series[source]

Convert this array into a Series.

Overrides to_series() to create the series without first converting to a potentially very large numpy.ndarray.

Utilities 

class genno.core.graph.Graph(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A dictionary for a graph indexed by Key.

Graph maintains indexes on set/delete/pop/update operations that allow for fast lookups/member checks in certain special cases:

`unsorted_key`(key)	Return key with its original or unsorted dimensions.
`full_key`(name_or_key)	Return name_or_key with its full dimensions.

These basic features are used to provide higher-level helpers for Computer:

infer(key[, dims])

Infer a key.

full_key(name_or_key: Union[Key, Hashable]) → Optional[Union[Key, Hashable]][source]: Return name_or_key with its full dimensions.

infer(key: Union[str, Key], dims: Iterable[str] = []) → Optional[Union[Key, Hashable]][source]

Infer a key.

Parameters

dims (list of str, optional) – Drop all but these dimensions from the returned key(s).

Returns

str – If key is not found in the Graph.
Key – key with either its full dimensions (cf. full_key()) or, if dims are given, with only these dims.

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.[source]: If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised

unsorted_key(key: Union[Key, Hashable]) → Optional[Union[Key, Hashable]][source]: Return key with its original or unsorted dimensions.

update([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.[source]: If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

genno.util.REPLACE_UNITS = {'%': 'percent'}

Replacements to apply to Quantity units before parsing by pint. Mapping from original unit -> preferred unit.

The default values include:

The ‘%’ symbol cannot be supported by pint, because it is a Python operator; it is replaced with “percent”.

Additional values can be added with configure(); see units:.

genno.util.clean_units(input_string)[source]

Tolerate messy strings for units.

Dimensions enclosed in “[]” have these characters stripped.
Replacements from REPLACE_UNITS are applied.

genno.util.collect_units(*args)[source]: Return the “_unit” attributes of the args.

genno.util.filter_concat_args(args)[source]

Filter out str and Key from args.

A warning is logged for each element removed.

genno.util.parse_units(data: Iterable, registry=None) → Unit[source]

Return a pint.Unit for an iterable of strings.

Valid unit expressions not already present in the registry are defined, e.g.:

u = parse_units(["foo/bar", "foo/bar"], reg)

…results in the addition of unit definitions equivalent to:

reg.define("foo = [foo]")
reg.define("bar = [bar]")
u = reg.foo / reg.bar

Raises: ValueError – if data contains more than 1 unit expression, or the unit expression contains characters not parseable by pint, e.g. -?$.

genno.util.partial_split(func, kwargs)[source]

Forgiving version of functools.partial().

Returns a partial object and leftover kwargs not applicable to func.

genno.util.unquote(value)[source]: Reverse dask.core.quote().

Utilities for testing 

genno.testing.add_dantzig(c: Computer)[source]: Add contents analogous to the ixmp Dantzig scenario.

genno.testing.add_large_data(c: Computer, num_params, N_dims=6, N_data=0)[source]

Add nodes to c that return large-ish data.

The result is a matrix wherein the Cartesian product of all the keys is very large— about 2e17 elements for N_dim = 6—but the contents are very sparse. This can be handled by SparseDataArray, but not by xarray.DataArray backed by np.array.

genno.testing.add_test_data(c: Computer)[source]: add_test_data() operating on a Computer, not an ixmp.Scenario.

genno.testing.assert_logs(caplog, message_or_messages=None, at_level=None)[source]

Assert that message_or_messages appear in logs.

Use assert_logs as a context manager for a statement that is expected to trigger certain log messages. assert_logs checks that these messages are generated.

Derived from ixmp.testing.assert_logs().

Example

>>> def test_foo(caplog):
...     with assert_logs(caplog, 'a message'):
...         logging.getLogger(__name__).info('this is a message!')

Parameters

caplog (object) – The pytest caplog fixture.
message_or_messages (str or list of str) – String(s) that must appear in log messages.
at_level (int, optional) – Messages must appear on ‘genno’ or a sub-logger with at least this level.

genno.testing.assert_qty_allclose(a, b, check_type: bool = True, check_attrs: bool = True, ignore_extra_coords: bool = False, **kwargs)[source]

Assert that objects a and b have numerically close values.

Parameters

check_type (bool, optional) – Assert that a and b are both Quantity instances. If False, the arguments are converted to Quantity.
check_attrs (bool, optional) – Also assert that check that attributes are identical.
ignore_extra_coords (bool, optional) – Ignore extra coords that are not dimensions. Only meaningful when Quantity is SparseDataArray.

genno.testing.assert_qty_equal(a, b, check_type: bool = True, check_attrs: bool = True, ignore_extra_coords: bool = False, **kwargs)[source]

Assert that objects a and b are equal.

Parameters

check_type (bool, optional) – Assert that a and b are both Quantity instances. If False, the arguments are converted to Quantity.
check_attrs (bool, optional) – Also assert that check that attributes are identical.
ignore_extra_coords (bool, optional) – Ignore extra coords that are not dimensions. Only meaningful when Quantity is SparseDataArray.

genno.testing.assert_units(qty: Quantity, exp: str) → None[source]: Assert that qty has units exp.

genno.testing.get_test_quantity(key: Key) → Quantity[source]: Computation that returns test data.

genno.testing.random_qty(shape: Dict[str, int], **kwargs)[source]

Return a Quantity with shape and random contents.

Parameters

shape (dict (str -> int)) – Mapping from dimension names to lengths along each dimension.
**kwargs – Other keyword arguments to Quantity.

Returns

Random data with one dimension for each key in shape, and coords along those dimensions like “foo1”, “foo2”, with total length matching the value from shape. If shape is empty, a scalar (0-dimensional) Quantity.

Return type

Quantity
