PySeq

PySeq is a python module that finds groups of items that follow a naming convention containing a numerical sequence index (e.g. fileA.001.png, fileA.002.png, fileA.003.png...) and serializes them into a compressed sequence string representing the entire sequence (e.g. fileA.1-3.png). It should work regardless of where the numerical sequence index is embedded in the name. For examples, see basic usage below or http://rsgalloway.github.io/pyseq

Installation

The easiest way to install pyseq:

$ pip install pyseq

Basic Usage

Using the "z1" file sequence example in the "tests" directory, we start by listing the directory contents using ls:

$ ls tests/files/z1*
tests/files/z1_001_v1.1.png  tests/files/z1_001_v1.4.png  tests/files/z1_002_v1.3.png   tests/files/z1_002_v2.11.png
tests/files/z1_001_v1.2.png  tests/files/z1_002_v1.1.png  tests/files/z1_002_v1.4.png   tests/files/z1_002_v2.12.png
tests/files/z1_001_v1.3.png  tests/files/z1_002_v1.2.png  tests/files/z1_002_v2.10.png  tests/files/z1_002_v2.9.png

Now we list the same directory contents using lss, which will find the sequences and display them in the default compressed format:

$ lss tests/files/z1*
   4 z1_001_v1.%d.png [1-4]
   4 z1_002_v1.%d.png [1-4]
   4 z1_002_v2.%d.png [9-12]

With a custom format:

$ lss tests/files/z1* -f "%h%r%t"
z1_001_v1.1-4.png
z1_002_v1.1-4.png
z1_002_v2.9-12.png

Recursive:

$ lss -r tests

API Examples

Compression, or serialization, of lists of items:

>>> s = Sequence(['file.0001.jpg', 'file.0002.jpg', 'file.0003.jpg'])
>>> print(s)
file.1-3.jpg
>>> s.append('file.0006.jpg')
>>> print(s.format("%h%p%t %R"))
file.%04d.jpg [1-3, 6]

Uncompression, or deserialization, of compressed sequences strings:

>>> s = uncompress('./tests/012_vb_110_v001.%04d.png 1-1001', fmt='%h%p%t %r')
>>> len(s)
1001
>>> print(s.format('%04l %h%p%t %R'))
1001 012_vb_110_v001.%04d.png [1-1001]

Testing

To run the unit tests, simply run pytest in a shell:

$ pytest

Or if you don't have pytest, you can run:

$ python tests/test_pyseq.py
