Pynorama
Pynorama is a tool for visualizing intricate datasets for which a simple table format is not suitable. It was created with Natural Language Processing applications in mind.
Pynorama lets you define views in Python that are rendered as interactive web applications, letting you browse, analyse and understand your data.
Pynorama is scalable and extensible. Pynorama has a clean and simple architecture. It makes little assumptions about your data source or data format. Read in the documentation about developing extensions.
Quickstart
Install Pynorama
For a minimal install run:
pip install pynorama
Using Pynorama
To create a view:
- define a table describing your data records. Currently supported sources are pandas.DataFrame and MongoDB queries.
- define different stages of your data pipeline.
- return a particular records for a given stage.
- configure the UI
In Python this would look similar to this:
from pynorama import View
from pynorama.table import PandasTable
class ExampleView(View):
def __init__(self, name, description=''):
super(ExampleView, self).__init__(name, description)
setup_data()
def get_pipeline(self):
return {
'raw_stage': {'viewer': 'raw'},
'tokenized': {'viewer': 'json', 'parents': ['raw_stage']}
}
def get_record(self, key, stage):
if stage == 'raw_stage':
return get_html(key)
else:
return get_processed_data(key)
def get_table(self):
return PandasTable(get_dataframe())Next, register the view with pynorama:
from pynorama import register_view
register_view(ExampleView('example'))Finally, let Pynorama set up a Flask server for you and start it:
from pynorama import make_server
app = make_server()
app.run(host='localhost', port='5000')Now just run your Python script! The view should be accessible at http://localhost:5000/view/example.
