Overview

iden is a simple Python library to manage a dataset of shards when training a machine learning model. iden uses a lazy loading approach to load the shard's data, so it is easy to manage shards without loading their data. iden supports different format to store shards on disk.

Installation

We highly recommend installing a virtual environment. iden can be installed from pip using the following command:

pip install iden

To make the package as slim as possible, only the minimal packages required to use iden are installed. To include all the dependencies, you can use the following command:

API stability

:warning: While iden is in development stage, no API is guaranteed to be stable from one release to the next. In fact, it is very likely that the API will change multiple times before a stable 1.0.0 release. In practice, this means that upgrading iden to a new version will possibly break any code that was using the old version of iden.
