couple of bash functions might be useful

[rleaver152]

These might save some time for people - I put these in my .bash_aliases file (Mac OSX). They assume a virtual environment in the pupyl-venv directory as set out.

The first builds the data directory named after the source top directory
The second serves from that same source.

In both cases they need the source directory as an argument. Hope this helps people.

python3.9 -m venv pupyl-venv

reverse_search_images_my_pupyl_build() {
target_directory="$(basename "$1")"
source $HOME/Scripts/PythonEnvironments/pupyl-venv/bin/activate
pupyl_directory="$HOME/.pupyl""_""$target_directory"
reference_images_directory="$1"
pupyl --data_dir "$pupyl_directory" index "$reference_images_directory"
deactivate
}
export -f reverse_search_images_my_pupyl_build

reverse_search_images_my_pupyl() {
target_directory="$(basename "$1")"
source $HOME/Scripts/PythonEnvironments/pupyl-venv/bin/activate
pupyl_directory="$HOME/.pupyl""_""$target_directory"
reference_images_directory="$1"
pupyl --data_dir "$pupyl_directory" serve
deactivate
}
export -f reverse_search_images_my_pupyl

Hey @rleaver152, thanks for the discussion!

If I really understood your script, the first one (reverse_search_images_my_pupyl_build) is something like:

pupyl --data_dir /path/to/your/data/dir index /path/to/images/

and the second one (reverse_search_images_my_pupyl):

pupyl --data_dir /path/to/your/data/dir serve

, is that right?

[rleaver152]

exactly - with the advantage of persisting named inditdual data databases

Hey @rleaver152, hence the following can achieve exactly what your script is doing:

pupyl --data_dir /path/to/your/data/dir index /path/to/images/
pupyl --data_dir /path/to/your/data/dir serve

Could you test it and return with your feedback? Thanks a lot!

[rleaver152]

hi - but its already in my scripts!
....bash
pupyl --data_dir "$pupyl_directory" index "$reference_images_directory"
..... bash
The reason I call from bash is that I use virtual environments (my MacOSX base python environment is untouched/sparse to prevent issues with multiple python variations). This way I can use standard CLI to invoke the program

[policratus]

Oh, sorry @rleaver152, you're right! It's a great way to just execute pupyl CLI, without the need to activate a virtual environment. Great work!

[rleaver152]

the real *wish list* is outputting the top [10] near matches as discussed a few weeks back. That would be awesome! Is it possible? (wish I knew how to do it!)

Yep, for sure @rleaver152 this is possible! We just released pupyl version 0.13.0 and this is the next thing we'll be working on.

[policratus]

@rleaver152, this thread will be addressed also in #123.

[policratus]

Hi @rleaver152, just opened a pull request (#133) implementing this idea.
