What is python3-ml-collections
python3-ml-collections is:
The package provices two classes called ConfigDict and FrozenConfigDict that are “dict-like” data structures with dot access to nested elements. Together, they are supposed to be used as a main way of expressing configurations of experiments and models.
Features:
- Dot-based access to fields.
- Locking mechanism to prevent spelling mistakes.
- Lazy computation.
- FrozenConfigDict() class which is immutable and hashable.
- Type safety.
- “Did you mean” functionality.
- Human readable printing (with valid references and cycles), using valid YAML format.
- Fields can be passed as keyword arguments using the ** operator.
There are two exceptions to the strong type-safety of the ConfigDict. int values can be passed in to fields of type float. In such a case, the value is type-converted to a float before being stored. Similarly, all string types (including Unicode strings) can be stored in fields of type str or unicode.
