Submodules

Utilities to operate on CalcJobNode instances.

class aiida.orm.utils.calcjob.CalcJobResultManager(node)[source]

Bases: object

Utility class to easily access the contents of the ‘default output’ node of a CalcJobNode.

A CalcJob process can mark one of its outputs as the ‘default output’. The default output node will always be returned by the CalcJob and will always be a Dict node.

If a CalcJob defines such a default output node, this utility class will simplify retrieving the result of said node through the CalcJobNode instance produced by the execution of the CalcJob.

The default results are only defined if the CalcJobNode has a process_type that can be successfully used to load the corresponding CalcJob process class and if its process spec defines a default_output_node. If both these conditions are met, the results are defined as the dictionary contained within the default output node.

class aiida.orm.utils.links.LinkManager(link_triples)[source]

Bases: object

Class to convert a list of LinkTriple tuples into an iterator.

It defines convenience methods to retrieve certain subsets of LinkTriple while checking for consistency. For example:

LinkManager.one(): returns the only entry in the list or it raises an exception

Validate adding a link of the given type and label from a given node to ourself.

This function will first validate the class types of the inputs and will subsequently validate whether a link of the specified type is allowed at all between the nodes types of the source and target.

Subsequently, the validity of the “indegree” and “outdegree” of the proposed link is validated, which means validating that the uniqueness constraints of the incoming links into the target node and the outgoing links from the source node are not violated. In AiiDA’s provenance graph each link type has one of the following three types of “degree” character:

* unique
* unique pair
* unique triple

Each degree character has a different unique constraint on its links, here defined for the indegree:

* unique: any target node, it can only have a single incoming link of this type, regardless of the link label.
* unique pair: a node can have an infinite amount of incoming links of this type, as long as the labels within
    that sub set, are unique. In short, it is the link pair, i.e. the tuple of the link type and label, that has
    a uniquess constraint for the incoming links to a given node.
* unique triple: a node can have an infinite amount of incoming links of this type, as long as the triple tuple
    of source node, link type and link label is unique. In other words, it is the link triple that has a
    uniqueness constraint for the incoming links.

The same holds for outdegree, but then it concerns outgoing links from the source node to the target node.

For illustration purposes, consider the following example provenance graphs that are considered legal, where WN, DN and CN represent a WorkflowNode, a DataNode and a CalculationNode, respectively:

         1                    2                    3
 ______     ______          ______          ______     ______
|      |   |      |        |      |        |      |   |      |
|  WN  |   |  DN  |        |  DN  |        |  WN  |   |  WN  |
|______|   |______|        |______|        |______|   |______|
     |     /                |   |               |     /
   a |    / a             a |   | b           a |    / a
    _|___/                  |___|_             _|___/
   |      |                |      |           |      |
   |  CN  |                |  CN  |           |  DN  |
   |______|                |______|           |______|

In example 1, the link uniqueness constraint is not violated because despite the labels having the same label a, their link types, CALL_CALC and INPUT_CALC, respectively, are different and their unique_pair indegree is not violated.

Similarly, in the second example, the constraint is not violated, because despite both links having the same link type INPUT_CALC, the have different labels, so the unique_pair indegree of the INPUT_CALC is not violated.

Finally, in the third example, we see two WorkflowNodes both returning the same DataNode and with the same label. Despite the two incoming links here having both the same type as well as the same label, the uniqueness constraint is not violated, because the indegree for RETURN links is unique_triple which means that the triple of source node and link type and label should be unique.

Parameters
  • source – the node from which the link is coming

  • target – the node to which the link is going

  • link_type – the type of link

  • link_label – link label

Raises
  • TypeError – if source or target is not a Node instance, or link_type is not a LinkType enum

  • ValueError – if the proposed link is invalid

classmethod get_query_builder(identifier, identifier_type=None, sub_classes=None, query_with_dashes=True, operator='==', project='*')[source]

Return the query builder instance that attempts to map the identifier onto an entity of the orm class, defined for this loader class, inferring the identifier type if it is not defined.

Parameters
  • identifier – the identifier

  • identifier_type – the type of the identifier

classmethod get_query_classes(sub_classes=None)[source]

Validate a tuple of classes if a user passes in a specific one when attempting to load an entity. Each class should be a sub class of the entity loader’s orm base class

Parameters

sub_classes – an optional tuple of orm classes, that should each be strict sub classes of the base orm class of the loader, that will narrow the queryset

Returns

the tuple of orm classes to be used for the entity query

Raises

ValueError – if any of the classes are not a sub class of the entity loader’s orm base class

classmethod infer_identifier_type(value)[source]

This method will attempt to automatically distinguish which identifier type is implied for the given value, if the value itself has no type from which it can be inferred.

The strategy is to first attempt to convert the value to an integer. If successful, it is assumed that the value represents an ID. If that fails, we attempt to interpret the value as a base 16 encoded integer, after having removed any dashes from the string. If that succeeds, it is most likely a UUID. If it seems to be neither an ID nor a UUID, it is assumed to be a LABEL like identifier.

With this approach there is the possibility for ambiguity. Since it is allowed to pass a partial UUID, it is possible that the partial UUID is also a valid ID. Likewise, a LABEL identifier might also be a valid ID, or a valid (partial) UUID. Fortunately, these ambiguities can be solved though:

  • ID/UUID: can always be solved by passing a partial UUID with at least one dash

  • ID/LABEL: appending an exclamation point ! to the identifier, will force LABEL interpretation

  • UUID/LABEL: appending an exclamation point ! to the identifier, will force LABEL interpretation

As one can see, the user will always be able to include at least one dash of the UUID identifier to prevent it from being interpreted as an ID. For the potential ambiguities in LABEL identifiers, we had to introduce a special marker to provide a surefire way of breaking any ambiguity that may arise. Adding an exclamation point will break the normal strategy and the identifier will directly be interpreted as a LABEL identifier.

Parameters

value – the value of the identifier

Returns

the identifier and identifier type

ValueError – if the value is an invalid identifier

Mixin classes for ORM classes.

class aiida.orm.utils.mixins.FunctionCalculationMixin[source]

Bases: object

This mixin should be used for ProcessNode subclasses that are used to record the execution of a python function. For example the process nodes that are used for a function that was wrapped by the workfunction or calcfunction function decorators. The store_source_info method can then be called with the wrapped function to store information about that function in the calculation node through the inspect module. Various property getters are defined to later retrieve that information from the node

a “cleaned” value, potentially identical to value, but with values replaced where needed.
