brainhops.io.base.zarr

Adapt the file-based reader and writer surface to a Zarr store.

A Zarr node is a directory-backed store rather than a single file, so the file-handle machinery of the parser base does not apply to it. This mixin opens the store through abczarr instead. It inherits the common parser class so that dispatch, load, and save reach it the same way they reach every other reader, and it routes their file operations to a store path.

The mixin is object-agnostic. An image reader and a transformation reader both mix it in and share its store handling. The public entry points pair an open-node door with a location door in each direction: from_node and [to_node][brainhops.io.base.zarr.ZarrParser.to_node] operate on an opened node, and from_store and [to_store][brainhops.io.base.zarr.ZarrParser.to_store] operate on a store location.

Classes

ZarrParser magic

ZarrParser(node: ZarrNode | None = None)

Bases: DataModelBase, FileParser

Read and write a Zarr store through abczarr.

A concrete class mixes this in ahead of the file-based bases, whether it reads an image or a transformation.

Attributes

EXTENSIONS class-attribute
EXTENSIONS: tuple[str, ...] = ()

File extensions handled by this parser, e.g. (".nii", ".nii.gz").

Used as a first, cheap dispatch pass. When several parsers match, the longest matching extension wins, so a parser declaring ".nii.gz" takes precedence over one declaring ".gz".

PREFIXES class-attribute
PREFIXES: tuple[str, ...] = ()

Filename prefixes required by this parser, e.g. ("y_", "iy_").

An empty tuple means "no constraint". A parser that constrains the prefix is more specific than one that does not, and wins ties.

Declaring EXTENSIONS and PREFIXES separately states the cross-product implicitly, which is how these conventions actually work: SPM's four names are {y_, iy_} x {.nii, .nii.gz}.

PRIORITY class-attribute
PRIORITY: int = 0

Explicit tie-breaker, consulted only when specificity cannot decide. Higher wins. Leave at 0 unless two parsers genuinely collide.

Methods:

from_node classmethod
from_node(node: Any, **kwargs) -> Self

Read the object from an opened Zarr array or group.

node is an abczarr node, or a driver-native array or group from zarr-python, TensorStore, or zarrista, which is wrapped in an abczarr node before it is read. This is the reading counterpart of [to_node][brainhops.io.base.zarr.ZarrParser.to_node].

from_store classmethod
from_store(location: StoreLike, **kwargs) -> Self

Read the object from a store location or an opened store.

location is a path, given as a string or an os.PathLike, or an already-opened abczarr or driver-native store.

sniff classmethod
sniff(
    file: FileOrContentLike,
    error: bool | Type[Exception] = False,
    **kwargs,

Determine if the given file is of the type that this parser can handle.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
file FileOrContentLike

If not False, raise an error if the file cannot be sniffed.

False
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
float

Confidence that the file is of this type, in [0, 1].

sniff_content classmethod
sniff_content(
    content: ContentLike,
    error: bool | Type[Exception] = False,
    **kwargs,
) -> float

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
content ContentLike

The content to sniff.

required
error bool | type[Exception]

If not False, raise an error if the content cannot be sniffed.

False
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
float

sniff_text classmethod
sniff_text(
    text: str,
    error: bool | Type[Exception] = False,
    **kwargs,
) -> float

Determine if the given text is of the type that this parser can handle.

Parameters:

If not False, raise an error if the content cannot be sniffed.

False
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

float

Confidence that the text is of this type, in [0, 1].

sniff_lines classmethod
sniff_lines(
    lines: Iterable[str],
    error: bool | Type[Exception] = False,
    **kwargs,
) -> float

Determine if the given lines are of the type that this parser can handle.

Parameters:

required
error bool | type[Exception]

If not False, raise an error if the content cannot be sniffed.

False
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
float

Confidence that the line is of this type, in [0, 1].

load classmethod
load(other: FileOrContentLike, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from a file (path, file-like object or iterable of lines).

This is the generic front door to the from_* family: it looks at what it was handed and calls the right one.

A str is always a path, whether or not the file exists, so a missing file raises FileNotFoundError whichever way its path was spelled. Text held in memory is read with from_text or from_content.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
other FileOrContentLike

Input file, or its content.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

Raises:

Type Description
ParserExistsError

If other is a path to a file that does not exist. It is a FileNotFoundError.

from_spec classmethod
from_spec(spec: SourceSpec, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from an unqualified structured source.

from_filename classmethod
from_filename(filename: FilenameLike, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from a filename.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
filename FilenameLike

The filename to parse.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

from_content classmethod
from_content(content: ContentLike, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from a file content (bytes, str, or iterable of lines).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
content ContentLike

The content to parse.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

from_text classmethod
from_text(text: str, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from a text representation of a file.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
text str

The text to parse.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

from_lines classmethod
from_lines(lines: Iterable[str], **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from an iterable of lines (e.g., the content of a file).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
lines Iterable[str]

The lines to sniff.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

from_line classmethod
from_line(line: str, **kwargs) -> Self

Build an object from a single line of text.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
line str

The line to parse.

required
**kwargs

Parser-specific options.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
obj

The parsed object.

from_dict classmethod
from_dict(other: Mapping, *args, **kwargs) -> Self

Create an instance of the class from a dictionary-like object.

Only keys in the dictionary that match keyword-like fields of this class, or the keywords its constructor takes without storing them (its InitVars, such as the matrix= of an Affine), will be used. Other keys are ignored, but see from_other, which refuses them.

Additional positional and/or keyword arguments can be provided, and will take precedence over the values in the dictionary.

A key naming a field that this class fixes (a field that cannot be passed to its constructor) is checked instead of used: a dictionary that sets it to anything other than None or the value of this class is refused with a ValueError.

from_instance classmethod
from_instance(other: Self, *args, **kwargs) -> Self

Create an instance of the class from an instance of a similar class.

Only attributes of the other instance that match keyword-like fields of this class will be used. An attribute that is None is unset, and leaves the default of this class in place.

Additional positional and/or keyword arguments can be provided, and will take precedence over the attributes in the instance.

Unless the other instance is already an instance of this class, an attribute naming a field that this class fixes (a field that cannot be passed to its constructor) is checked instead of used: an instance that sets it to anything other than None or the value of this class is refused with a ValueError. A generic Axis whose orientation is right-to-left, for example, cannot be read as a LeftToRightAxis.

from_other classmethod
from_other(other: Any, *args, **kwargs) -> Self

Create an instance of the class from any object that can be interpreted as a dictionary, or an instance of a similar class, or an arguments to be passed to the constructor.

A similar class is this class or one of its parents within the data model, or another member of a polymorphic family this class belongs to: calling a polymorphic class such as Axis builds the subclass its arguments select, so a "generic" axis is usually an instance of a sibling (a RightToLeftAxis, a TimeAxis) rather than of a parent. Any other object, including an instance of a parent that is not a data model (such as a plain object), is passed to the constructor.

Unlike from_dict, a dictionary with a key that matches no field of this class is refused with a TypeError naming the keys, so that a misspelt key is not silently dropped.
