The ``acumos_model_runner`` package installs a command line tool ``acumos_model_runner`` for running models created by the `Acumos Python client library <https://pypi.org/project/acumos/>`__.

The model runner provides an HTTP API for invoking model methods, as well as a `Swagger UI <https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/>`__ for documentation. See the tutorial for more information on usage.

Acumos Python Model Runner Tutorial
===================================

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Acumos Python model runner with an example model.

Creating A Model
================

An Acumos model must first be defined using the `Acumos Python client library <https://pypi.org/project/acumos/>`__. For illustrative purposes, a simple model with deterministic methods is defined below.

.. code:: python

    # example_model.py
    from collections import Counter

    from acumos.session import AcumosSession
    from acumos.modeling import Model, List, Dict

    def add(x: int, y: int) -> int:
        '''Adds two numbers'''
        return x + y

    def count(strings: List[str]) -> Dict[str, int]:
        '''Counts the occurrences of words in `strings`'''
        return Counter(strings)

    model = Model(add=add, count=count)

    session = AcumosSession()
    session.dump(model, 'example-model', '.')

Executing ``example_model.py`` results in the following directory:

.. code:: python

    .
    ├── example_model.py
    └── example-model


Running A Model
===============

Now the ``acumos_model_runner`` command line tool can be used to run the saved model.

.. code:: bash

    $ acumos_model_runner example-model/
    [2018-08-08 12:16:57 -0400] [61113] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.9.0
    [2018-08-08 12:16:57 -0400] [61113] [INFO] Listening at: http://0.0.0.0:3330 (61113)
    [2018-08-08 12:16:57 -0400] [61113] [INFO] Using worker: sync
    [2018-08-08 12:16:57 -0400] [61151] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 61151

Using A Model
=============

The model HTTP API can be explored via its generated Swagger UI. The Swagger UI of ``example-model`` above can be accessed by navigating to ``http://localhost:3330`` in your web browser.

Below are some screenshots of the Swagger UI for ``example-model``.

Model APIs
----------

The Swagger UI enumerates model method APIs, as well as APIs for accessing model artifacts. Below, the APIs corresponding to the ``add`` and ``count`` methods are listed under the ``methods`` tag.

|Model APIs|

.. |Model APIs| image:: https://gerrit.acumos.org/r/gitweb?p=python-model-runner.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/tutorial/example-model-apis.png;hb=HEAD

Count Method API
----------------

Expanding the documentation for the ``count`` method reveals more information on how to invoke the API.

|Model Method|

.. |Model Method| image:: https://gerrit.acumos.org/r/gitweb?p=python-model-runner.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/tutorial/example-model-method.png;hb=HEAD

Count Method Request
--------------------

The Swagger UI provides an input form that can be used to try out the ``count`` API with sample data.

|Model Method Request|

.. |Model Method Request| image:: https://gerrit.acumos.org/r/gitweb?p=python-model-runner.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/tutorial/example-model-request.png;hb=HEAD

Count Method Response
---------------------

The response from the ``count`` API shows that everything is working as expected!

Acumos Python Model Runner Developer Guide
==========================================

Testing
=======

We use a combination of ``tox``, ``pytest``, and ``flake8`` to test
``acumos_model_runner``. Code which is not PEP8 compliant (aside from E501) will be
considered a failing test. You can use tools like ``autopep8`` to
“clean” your code as follows:

.. code:: bash

    $ pip install autopep8
    $ cd python-model-runner
    $ autopep8 -r --in-place --ignore E501 acumos_model_runner/ testing/ examples/

Run tox directly:

.. code:: bash

    $ cd python-model-runner
    $ tox

You can also specify certain tox environments to test:

.. code:: bash

    $ tox -e py34  # only test against Python 3.4
    $ tox -e flake8  # only lint code

And finally, you can run pytest directly in your environment *(recommended starting place)*:

.. code:: bash

    $ pytest
    $ pytest -s   # verbose output
