audata.bin.csv2audata module¶
Tool for automagically converting CSV files to audata files.
-
audata.bin.csv2audata.main()¶ Converts CSV files or nested directories containing multiple CSVs to an audata HDF5 file.
This tool takes in the path to either a single CSV file or a directory to be recursed for all CSV files. For each, it attempts to intelligently convert each CSV into an audata dataset and store the output to a file (with the same name as the CSV or directory, ending in ‘.h5’).
The tool will infer a datetime column if it is named time, timestamp, or index, or if it is a string column whose first element can be parsed as a datetime object using dateutils.parser.parse. This parsing does rely on the first row being valid.
Other string columns will be treated either as factor/categorical columns if the arity (unique values) is less than 10% of the total number of rows, otherwise a string column.
- Parameters
path (str) – Path to a CSV file or directory to be recursively scanned for CSVs.
