Python Package Usage

You can install ahorn-loader as a Python package from PyPI via pip (or some other package manager of your choice):

pip install ahorn-loader

Then, you can use it in your Python scripts:

import ahorn_loader

# Download a dataset:
ahorn_loader.download_dataset("dataset_name", "target_path")

# Download and read a dataset:
# The dataset will be stored in your system's cache. For a more permanent storage
# location, use `ahorn_loader.download_dataset` instead.
with ahorn_loader.read_dataset("dataset_name") as dataset:
    for line in dataset:
        ...

# Validate a specific dataset (e.g., before adding it to AHORN):
ahorn_loader.validate("path_to_dataset_file")
