Container
Container
dataclass
Bases: PathLike[str]
A small filesystem container with an optional key->relative-path registry.
The container owns a root directory and persists a registry file (default:
tree.json) storing logical keys mapped to relative file paths.
Design choices / conventions:
-
container / "file.ext"is a file-creation helper:- It ensures parent directories exist.
- Optionally auto-registers the file under key = stem ("file").
-
Directories should be created via
mkdir()(not/):- Enforced by requiring a suffix when using
/with a relative path.
- Enforced by requiring a suffix when using

path
property
Return the container root as a Path.
__enter__()
Context manager entry; returns self.
Source code in gdutils/datacontainer/container.py
199 200 201 | |
__exit__(exc_type, exc, tb)
Context manager exit; always saves the registry.
Source code in gdutils/datacontainer/container.py
203 204 205 | |
__fspath__()
Allow using os.fspath(container) and passing to stdlib path APIs.
Source code in gdutils/datacontainer/container.py
83 84 85 | |
__getattr__(name)
Provide ergonomic access to registered files via attribute lookup.
If name is a registered key, this returns self.get(name).
Otherwise, it forwards the attribute access to the underlying root Path.

__post_init__()
Initialize the container root and load the registry.
If clean=True, recursively deletes the root directory contents, then
recreates the root directory.

__repr__()
Debug representation.
Source code in gdutils/datacontainer/container.py
91 92 93 | |
__str__()
String representation is the root path.

__truediv__(other)
Build a path under the container root.
Behavior:
- If `other` is an absolute path: return it as-is (no registration).
- If `other` is relative:
* Requires a suffix (file-only policy). Use `mkdir()` for dirs.
* Ensures parent dirs exist under container root.
* If `auto_register=True`, registers under key = `other.stem`.
Raises:
RuntimeError: If a relative path without suffix is provided.
KeyError: If auto-registration conflicts with an existing key pointing
to a different path.

free(key)
Remove a key from the registry (no-op if missing).
Source code in gdutils/datacontainer/container.py
229 230 231 | |
get(key)
Resolve a registered key to an absolute path.
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
AttributeError
|
If the key is not registered (to play nicely with getattr). |

joinpath(*parts)
Join path components under the container root.
This behaves like Path.joinpath and does not enforce the "/" suffix
policy nor auto-register.

mkdir(relpath, *, parents=True, exist_ok=True)
Create a directory under the container root.
This is the preferred way to create directories (instead of using /).

register(key, relpath)
Register a logical key to a relative path.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
key
|
str
|
Logical name used to retrieve the file later. |
required |
relpath
|
PathLike
|
Path relative to the container root (stored as POSIX). |
required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Path
|
The absolute path (under root) corresponding to the registered entry. |
