Scripting

Why doing it?

There are several reasons to learn and use scripts for your research:

Apply your work in several contexts, by automatizing a task
Make your work reproducible
Customize SPPAS solutions

Among the very long list of programming languages, Python is one of the most popular in the world, with strong peer support and helpful documentation. Python offers a wide range of libraries that can be used across various applications, including machine learning, statistics, data analysis, etc.

Python's simple syntax, combined with its large set of libraries, is helping us to do more with fewer efforts.

Scripting with SPPAS

Adding "sppas" to the Python path

SPPAS implementation is available in the "sppas" directory of the package. For any script using it, we've to tell Python where to find it! This can be done with the following lines:

 import os
 import sys
 # If there's a SPPAS environment variable
 SPPAS = os.getenv("SPPAS")
 if SPPAS is None:
     SPPAS = "path/to/your/SPPAS-package"
 sys.path.append(SPPAS)
 import sppas
