The default value for this option if it is not specified anywhere.

envvar: str = <Multiline-String>#

The environment variable to use for this option

key: str = <Multiline-String>#

The key used for this option in the config file.

This is the fully qualified key, e.g. “object-server.port” corresponds to the following yaml:

object-server:
    port: 5015
argument: str = <Multiline-String>#

The command line argument for this option

data_type: Any = None#

The use case for this is e.g. to expand environment variables or do shell expansion in the value.

apply_transform_func_per_element: bool = True#

Whether to apply the transform_func individually for each element of composite values like lists or dicts.

If set to False, the transform_func will be applied to the composite value as a whole. For dicts, the function will be applied to the values only.

format_func: Callable[[Any], str | list[str]] = None#

A function to format the value for this option in serialization.

This is useful for options that have complex values, such as lists or dictionaries. Default is identity.

class tlcconfig.options.PROJECT_SCAN_URLS_OPTION#

Bases: tlcconfig.options.OPTION

Locations to scan for 3LC objects (runs and tables) following a standard 3LC project layout.

The option value should be a list of URLs to scan for 3LC objects. Items in the list can be represented either by a string value (e.g., “s3://bucket”) or as a dictionary with the required field ‘url’ and optional extra fields (e.g., {“url”: “s3://bucket”, “static”: True}).

Example values:

  • “C:\Users\user\Documents\3LC\projects”

  • “s3://my-bucket/3LC/projects”

  • {“url”: “s3://my-bucket/3LC/read-only-projects”, “static”: True}

The only public optional field is ‘static’, which, when set to ‘True’, prevents the indexer from re-scanning the location.

Each URL in this list is assumed to contain sub-projects. Default (sub-)directories will be created if they do not exist.

Bases: tlcconfig.options.OPTION

Extra (non-recursive) locations to scan for 3LC Table objects.

This option allows searching individual folders/locations for 3LC Table objects outside the standard hierarchy of a 3LC project structure. For example:

  • “C:\Users\user\Documents\3LC\tables”

  • “s3://my-bucket/3LC/tables”.

Note: these locations will not be scanned recursively. See PROJECT_SCAN_URLS_OPTION for details on URL options.

Indexed Tables from these extra locations can be used interchangeably with other Tables discovered by the system.

  • “C:\Users\user\Documents\3LC\runs”

  • “s3://my-bucket/3LC/runs”.

Note: these locations will not be scanned recursively. See PROJECT_SCAN_URLS_OPTION for details on URL options.

Indexed Runs from these extra locations can be used interchangeably with other Runs discovered by the system.

local_ensure_file_is_writable() bool#
validate_func = None#
class tlcconfig.options.LOGLEVEL#

Bases: tlcconfig.options.OPTION

Log level for the 3LC logger.

The tlc Python package adheres to the standard Python logging levels:

  • DEBUG: Detailed information, typically of interest only when diagnosing problems.

  • INFO: Confirmation that things are working as expected.

  • WARNING: An indication that something unexpected happened, or indicative of some problem in the near future (e.g. “disk space low”). The software is still working as expected.

  • ERROR: Due to a more serious problem, the software has not been able to perform some function.

  • CRITICAL: A serious error, indicating that the program itself may be unable to continue running.

key = logging.loglevel#
envvar = TLC_LOGLEVEL#
argument = --loglevel#
data_type = None#
transform_func = None#
validate_func = None#
class tlcconfig.options.DISPLAY_PROGRESS#

Bases: tlcconfig.options.OPTION

Whether to display progress bars or not.

The option can be either 0 or 1, where 0 means no progress bars and 1 means progress bars.

default = 1#
data_type = None#
transform_func = None#
key = tlc.display-progress#
envvar = TLC_DISPLAY_PROGRESS#
argument = --display-progress#

Whether to send Telemetry or not. This option is deprecated and not in use.

default = _get_default_telemetry(...)#
data_type = None#
key = tlc.telemetry#
envvar = TLC_TELEMETRY#
argument = --telemetry#
transform_func = None#
class tlcconfig.options.ALIASES#

Bases: tlcconfig.options.OPTION

List of registered aliases

The option value should be a dictionary with the alias name as the key and the alias value as the value. In addition to the aliases in this list, the system will also consider ‘data aliases’ stored in special data configuration files and merge them with the aliases defined here. A data configuration file is a partial 3LC configuration that contains only one key: aliases. The system will look for such files, upon startup only, in the following locations:

  • <PROJECT_SCAN_URL>/config.3lc.yaml # top level

  • <PROJECT_SCAN_URL>/<project_xyz>/config.3lc.yaml # per project

  • <EXTRA_TABLE_SCAN_URL>/config.3lc.yaml

  • <EXTRA_RUN_SCAN_URL>/config.3lc.yaml

Special alias syntax

For aliases defined inside data configuration files it is possible to define an alias-value that is relative to the configuration file in which the alias is defined. This is done by prefixing the alias-value with $., $.. and so forth. The system will then expand the alias-value relative to the configuration file in which the alias is defined.

Examples

Example values (for all configuration files):

  PROJECT_XYZ_REMOTE_ALIAS: s3://my-bucket/3LC/projects/project-xyz
  PROJECT_XYZ_LOCAL_ALIAS: /home/user/projects/project-xyz

Special syntax examples (only for data configuration files):

  PROJECT_XYZ_DATA_ALIAS: $./data # expands to the data directory relative to the configuration file itself
  PROJECT_XYZ_PARENT_DATA_ALIAS: $../data # relative to parent dir
  PROJECT_XYZ_PARENT_PARENT_DATA_ALIAS: $.../data # relative to parent's parent dir
