Installation
pip install --index-url /api/packages/qoherent/pypi/simple/ --no-deps utilsAbout this package
A comprehensive collection of the robust utilities at the core of the RIA Project, including common data ADTs, SDR interfaces, and essential signal processing tools and transforms.
Utils
Utils is a comprehensive collection of robust utilities at the core of the RIA Project, including common interfaces (class blueprints), APIs to communicate with software-defined radios, file managers, signal generators, and essential signal processing tools and transforms.
🚀 Getting started
Utils is listed on Qoherent's private devpi server: Qoherent devpi Server. To access this server, you need to be connected to Qoherent's private network, either directly or through a VPN.
This server hosts multiple indexes. Locate the project listing that you would like use, and then install with pip.
By default, pip installs the utils listed on PyPI, which is a separate project. To use one of our listings, you need
to specify the --index-url option. For example, the following command will install a suitable version of Utils
listed on the michael/dev index:
pip install --index-url http://192.168.0.162:8080/michael/dev/+simple/ --trusted-host 192.168.0.162 utils
Please note that the --trusted-host option is required as long as the server doesn't have a valid SSL certificate.
Once the project is installed, you can import its modules, functions, and classes, just as you would with any other
Python library. For example, you can use the following import statement to access the Recording object:
from utils.data import Recording
You can also access select utilities via the Utils command-line interface (CLI), which is automatically installed
alongside Utils. Execute utils --help from the command line for CLI usage information.
Additional installation and usage information and examples are provided in the project documentation. The project
documentation is also hosted on Qoherent's devpi server and can be viewed in the browser. Please be careful to ensure
you are viewing the documentation for the installed version, which can be determined using the following command:
pip show utils. For convenience, the documentation for the latest stable version is linked here:
Utils Project Documentation.

🔗 Adding Utils as a project dependency
Include Utils as a project dependency by adding the following line to your project's pyproject.toml file:
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
utils = { git = "https://github.com/qoherent/utils.git" }
For non-Python projects or projects where dependencies are not managed by Poetry, consider incorporating Utils as a submodule.
🤝 Contribution
Contributions are always welcome! Whether it's an enhancement, bug fix, or new usage example, your input is valuable. If you'd like to contribute to the project, please reach out to the project maintainers.
💻 Project Guidelines
This project adheres to Qoherent's Coding Guidelines. We kindly ask you to review them before getting started.
Utils is designed to be backend-independent and relatively lightweight, so please avoid adding large dependencies like PyTorch.
Utils is designed to be built and installed as a standalone package, so please avoid adding other Qoherent projects as dependencies.
Poetry
To ensure a consistent development environment, this project employs Poetry for dependency management.
You can initialize a new Poetry environment by running install from anywhere within the project:
poetry install
Running install when a poetry.lock file is present resolves and installs all dependencies listed in
pyproject.toml, but Poetry uses the exact versions listed in poetry.lock to ensure that the package versions
are consistent for everyone working on your project. Please note that the project itself will be installed in
editable mode when running poetry install.
Tests can be run with the following command:
poetry run pytest
Source and wheels archives can be built with the following command:
poetry build

Sphinx
Project documentation is crucial because it serves as the primary source of usage information. Documentation is auto-generated from project docstrings using Sphinx. Therefore, all importable components require comprehensive docstrings, complete with doctests demonstrating usage.
It's recommended to use sphinx-autobuild, which eliminates the need to manually rebuild the docs after making
changes:
sphinx-autobuild docs/source docs/build/html
When using sphinx-autobuild, the docs will automatically be served at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
To build the project documentation manually, navigate to the docs directory and run the following commands:
make clean
make html
Once the documentation is built, you can view it by opening docs/build/html/index.html in a web browser. Please note
that this strategy requires you to manually rebuild in order to see the changes.

tox
This project uses tox to streamline the testing and release. tox runs linting and formatting checks and tests
the package across multiple version of Python.
To run the tests, simply execute:
tox
