API Reference

Utility Functions

concat(objs, **kwargs) Concatenate data in given objects
merge(left, right, **kwargs) Merge data in given objects

CAS

The CAS object is the connection to the CAS server. CAS actions can be called on this object. It also incorporates many of the data reader functions of the Pandas package.

Constructor

CAS([hostname, port, username, password, …]) Create a connection to a CAS server.

Session Management

CAS.close() Close the CAS connection
CAS.copy() Create a copy of the connection
CAS.fork([num]) Create multiple copies of a connection
CAS.session_context(*args, **kwargs) Create a context of session options

Reading Data

There are various ways of loading data into CAS: server-side parsed and loaded, client-side parsed, and client-side files uploaded and parsed on the server. They follow the a naming convention to prevent confusion.

  • load_* : Loads server-side paths
  • read_* : Uses client-side parsers, then uploads the result
  • upload_* : Uploads client-side files as-is which are parsed on the server

Server-Side Files

CAS.load_path([path, readahead, …]) Load a path from a CASLib

Client-Side Files

CAS.read_pickle(path[, casout]) Load pickled pandas object from the specified path
CAS.read_table(filepath_or_buffer[, casout]) Read general delimited file into a CAS table

Running Actions

CAS.invoke(_name_, **kwargs) Call an action on the server
CAS.__iter__() Iterate over responses from CAS
getone(connection[, datamsghandler]) Get a single response from a connection
getnext(*objs, **kwargs) Return responses as they appear from multiple connections

CASResults

The CASResults object is a subclass of Python’s ordered dictionary. CAS actions can return any number of result objects which are accessible by the dictionary keys. This class also defines several methods for handling tables in By groups.

Constructor

CASResults(*args, **kwargs) Ordered collection of results from a CAS action

By Group Processing

CASResults.get_tables(name[, set, concat]) Return all tables ending with name in all By groups

SASDataFrame

The SASDataFrame object is a simple subclass of pandas.DataFrame. It merely adds attributes to hold SAS metadata such as titles, labels, column metadata, etc. It also adds a few utility methods for handling By group representations.

Constructor

SASDataFrame([data, index, columns, dtype, …]) Two-dimensional tabular data structure with SAS metadata added

Column Metadata

SASColumnSpec(name[, label, dtype, width, …]) Create a SASDataFrame column information object

Utilities

SASFormatter

The SASFormatter object can be used to apply SAS data formats to Python values. It will only work with builtin SAS data formats; not user-defined formats. If you need user-defined formats, the fetch action can be configured to bring back formatted values rather than raw values.

Formatting Data

Plotting

CASTable.plot() is both a callable method and a namespace attribute for specific plotting methods of the form CASTable.plot.<kind>.

Note

In all of the plotting methods, the rendering is done completely on the client side. This means that all of the data is fetched in the background prior to doing the plotting.

Since plotting is done on the client-side, data must be downloaded to create the graphs. By default, the amount of data pulled down is limited by the cas.dataset.max_rows_fetched option. Sampling is used to randomize the data that is plotted. You can control the sampling with the following options:

sample_pct=float
The percentage of the rows of the original table to return given as a float value between 0 and 1. Using this option disables the cas.dataset.max_rows_fetched option row limits.
sample_seed=int
The seed for the random number generator given an as integer. This can be set to create deterministic sampling.
stratify_by='var-name'
Specifies the variable to do stratified sampling by.
sample=bool
A boolean used to indicate that the values fetched should be sampled. This is used in conjunction with the cas.dataset.max_rows_fetched option to return random samples up to that limit. It is assumed to be true when sample_pct= is specified.

CASColumn

CASResponse objects are primarily used internally, but they can be used in more advanced workflows. They are never instantiated directly, they will always be created by the CAS connection object and returned by an iterator.

Constructor

CASResponse(_sw_response[, soptions, connection]) Response from a CAS action

Response Properties

CASDisposition(_sw_response) Disposition of a CAS response
CASPerformance(_sw_response) Performance metrics of a CAS response

Data Message Handlers

Data message handlers are used to create custom data loaders. They construct the parameters to the addtable CAS action and handle the piece-wise loading of data into the server.

Note

Data message handlers are not currently supported in the REST interface.

CASDataMsgHandler(vars[, nrecs, reclen, …]) Base class for all CAS data message handlers
PandasDataFrame(data[, nrecs, dtype, …]) CAS data message handler for pandas.DataFrame objects
SAS7BDAT(path[, nrecs, transformers]) Create a SAS7BDAT data message handler
CSV(path[, nrecs, transformers]) Create a CSV data messsage handler
Text(path[, nrecs, transformers]) Create a Text data message handler
FWF(path[, nrecs, transformers]) Create an FWF data message handler
JSON(path[, nrecs, transformers]) Create a JSON data message handler
HTML(path[, index, nrecs, transformers]) Create an HTML data message handler
SQLTable(table, engine[, nrecs, transformers]) Create an SQLTable data message handler
SQLQuery(query, engine[, nrecs, transformers]) Create an SQLQuery data message handler
Excel(path[, sheet, nrecs, transformers]) Create an Excel data message handler
Clipboard([nrecs, transformers]) Create a Clipboard data message handler
DBAPI(module, cursor[, nrecs, transformers]) Create a Python DB-API 2.0 compliant data message handler
