mvpa2.misc.io.base.SampleAttributes

class mvpa2.misc.io.base.SampleAttributes(source, literallabels=True, header=None)

Read and write PyMVPA sample attribute definitions from and to text files.

Methods

clear(() -> None.  Remove all items from D.)
copy(() -> a shallow copy of D)
fromkeys(...)	v defaults to None.
get((k[,d]) -> D[k] if k in D, ...)
has_key((k) -> True if D has a key k, else False)
items(() -> list of D’s (key, value) pairs, ...)
iteritems(() -> an iterator over the (key, ...)
iterkeys(() -> an iterator over the keys of D)
itervalues(...)
keys(() -> list of D’s keys)
pop((k[,d]) -> v, ...)	If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised
popitem(() -> (k, v), ...)	2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
select_samples(selection)	Return new ColumnData with selected samples
setdefault((k[,d]) -> D.get(k,d), ...)
tofile(filename)	Write sample attributes to a text file.
update(([E, ...)	If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
values(() -> list of D’s values)
viewitems(...)
viewkeys(...)
viewvalues(...)

Read PyMVPA sample attributes from disk.

Parameters:

source : str

Filename of an atrribute file

literallabels : bool, optional

Either labels are given as literal strings

header : None or bool or list of str

If None, [‘targets’, ‘chunks’] is assumed. Otherwise the same behavior as of ColumnData
