Wrapper for argparse

Installation

pip install cvargparse

Usage

Some sample code (with some pseudo DL framework):

from cvargparse import GPUParser
from cvargparse import ArgFactory
from cvargparse import Arg

from dlframework import Model, LRSchedule, Updater, Iterator, to_gpu, load_data

def main(args):
    data = load_data(args.data, args.labels)
    model = Model(args.model_weights)
    # we can select multiple GPUs. use the first GPU for the initial model creation
    
    GPU = args.gpu[0]
    if GPU >= 0:
        to_gpu(model, GPU)
    
    lr_schedule = LRSchedule(args.lr, args.lr_shift, args.lr_decrease_rate, args.lr_target)
    
    updater = Updater(model, lr_schedule, decay=args.decay)
    
    it = Iterator(data, args.batch_size)
    
    for epoch in range(args.epochs):
        for batch in it:
            updater.train(model, batch)

ArgFactory([
	Arg("data", type=str),
	Arg("labels", type=str),
	Arg("model_weights", type=str),
])\
.epochs()\
.batch_size()\
.learning_rate(lr=1e-3)\
.weight_decay(5e-3)\
.seed()\
.debug()

parser = GPUParser(factory)

parser.init_logger()
main(parser.parse_args())

This script can be called as following:

python script.py path/to/data path/to/labels path/to/model \
    --gpu 0 1 \
    -lr 0.001 -lrs 30 -lrd 0.1 -lrt 1e-7 \
    --batch_size 32 \
    --epochs 90 \
    --loglevel DEBUG \
    --logfile path/to/logs    

Main Features

Argument Factory

• pre-defined frequently used arguments
• each factory method return the factory itself, hence one can chain the factory calls
• some factory methods support default value definition

from cvargparse import GPUParser, ArgFactory, Arg

factory = ArgFactory([
    Arg("data", type=str),
    Arg("labels", type=str),
    Arg("model_weights", type=str),
])

facotry.epochs()
facotry.batch_size()
factory.weight_decay(5e-3)
factory.learning_rate(lr=1e-3)
factory.debug().seed()

parser = GPUParser(factory)
args = parser.parse_args()

Argument Choices

• case insensitive
• default choice definition
• automatic argument generation
• pythonic way of argument-to-value access
