Caution

THIS LIBRARY IS CURRENTLY PRE-RELEASE

pkl-python is currently major version v0, and breaking changes will happen between versions.

pkl-python - Pkl Bindings for Python

Python binding for Apple's Pkl language.

Getting Started

Installation

pip install pkl-python

Basic Usage

Here's how you can start using pkl-python to load a PKL module:

import pkl

config = pkl.load("path/to/pkl/example_module.pkl")
config = pkl.loads("a: Int = 1 + 1")

Code Generation

As Python is a dynamic language, codegen is not strictly necessary. However, codegen lets you expect contents of pkl files within Python modules.

pkl-gen-python path/to/pkl/example_module.pkl

TODO

  • (codgen) pip binary installation
  • (codgen) gatherer depth-first ordering
  • (codgen) clean up code

Advanced Features

import pkl

config = pkl.load("./tests/types.pkl")
config = pkl.load("./tests/types.pkl", expr="datasize")
config = pkl.load(None, module_text="a: Int = 1 + 1")
config = pkl.load("./tests/types.pkl", debug=True)

pkl.load Parameters Detail

For details on the parameters, refer

Custom Readers

It is possible to add module or resource or module readers:

from typing import List
from dataclasses import dataclass

import pkl
from pkl import (
    ModuleReader, ResourceReader, PathElement,
    ModuleSource, PreconfiguredOptions, PklError,
)

class TestModuleReader(ModuleReader):
    def read(self, url) -> str:
        return "foo = 1"

    def list_elements(self, url: str) -> List[PathElement]:
        return [PathElement("foo.pkl", False)]

opts = PreconfiguredOptions(
    moduleReaders=[TestModuleReader("customfs", True, True, True)]
)
opts.allowedModules.append("customfs:")
config = pkl.load("./tests/pkls/myModule.pkl", evaluator_options=opts)
