Syphon is a Python package that provides a simple interface to perform common tasks on labelled data.  Its aim is to fit seamlessly into any automation pipeline that requires organization and collation of large datasets.


## Features

* Archive file(s) into a data storage directory.
  * Automatic archive organization based on the value of a data column (if a `.schema.json` file is present).
  * Quickly append new archive files onto a previously built data file.
* Build a single data file from the contents of the archive directory.
* Initialize new archive directories by creating a storage schema (`.schema.json`) file.


## Basic Usage

Initialize an archive directory:
```
python -m syphon init ./storage/folder some_column_header "another column header"
```

Archive one or more files with direct paths, wildcard patterns, or a combination of both:
```
python -m syphon archive /path/to/data.csv ./storage/folder

python -m syphon archive /path/to/data.csv /path/to/more/*.csv ./storage/folder
```

Build a single data file from an archive directory:
```
python -m syphon build ./storage/folder all_data.csv
```

Archive additional data and append it to a previously built data file:
```
python -m syphon archive /path/to/still/more/*.csv ./storage/folder -i all_data.csv
```

General command line documentation and subcommand documentation can be accessed via
```
 python -m syphon --help

 python -m syphon SUBCOMMAND --help
```
