Eskapade-Core

• Version: 1.0.0
• Released: Jan 2018

Eskapade is a light-weight, python-based data analysis framework, meant for modularizing all sorts of data analysis problems into reusable analysis components.

For the full documentation on Eskapade, including many examples, please go to this link.

The core functionality of Eskapade, namely: the Link, Chain, process_manager, DataStore, ConfigObject and corresponding tutorials, has now been split off from the growing Eskapade repository, into this new package Eskapade-Core.

Release notes

Version 1.0.0

In Eskapade-Core v1.0.0:

• Eskapade goes parallel. The execution of chains can be forked, so chains can run in parallel! See tutorial esk112 for details.
• The eskapade_bootstrap method has been severely upgraded. Running this command will generate you a new (Eskapade) project directory with a working link, macro, tests, entry-point scripts, and setup.py file!
• escore.eskapade_run() has been made more user-friendly for standalone use with python or jupyter.
• added __main__ function to every newly generated macro, so macros can now be run standalone. In addition, eskapade_generate_macro now makes a python function in the macro.
• The Eskapade DbConnection base class has been migraged to core.
• The DataStore now has a fancy get() function that can assert the type, length, and presence of object.
• Added a new link ApplyFunc that applies function to objects in the datastore. Simple but very useful.
• Plus several small updates to existing links in core_ops: skip_chain_if_empty, import_data_store, BreakLink.

Version 0.9

Version 0.9 of Eskapade-Core (December 2018) is a split off of the core and core_ops modules of Eskapade v0.9 into a separate package. Eskapade v0.9 builds on top of Eskapade-Core, and focussed on analysis modules.
