Description: Joblib is a set of tools to provide **lightweight pipelining in
Python**. In particular, joblib offers:
1. transparent disk-caching of the output values and lazy re-evaluation
(memoize pattern)
2. easy simple parallel computing
3. logging and tracing of the execution
Joblib is optimized to be **fast** and **robust** in particular on large
data and has specific optimizations for `numpy` arrays. It is
**BSD-licensed**.

========================= ================================================
Vision
--------
The vision is to provide tools to easily achieve better performance and
reproducibility when working with long running jobs.
* **Avoid computing twice the same thing**: code is rerun over an
over, for instance when prototyping computational-heavy jobs (as in
scientific development), but hand-crafted solution to alleviate this
issue is error-prone and often leads to unreproducible results
* **Persist to disk transparently**: persisting in an efficient way
arbitrary objects containing large data is hard. Using
joblib's caching mechanism avoids hand-written persistence and
implicitly links the file on disk to the execution context of
the original Python object. As a result, joblib's persistence is
good for resuming an application status or computational job, eg
after a crash.
Joblib strives to address these problems while **leaving your code and
your flow control as unmodified as possible** (no framework, no new
paradigms).
Main features
------------------
1) **Transparent and fast disk-caching of output value:** a memoize or
make-like functionality for Python functions that works well for
arbitrary Python objects, including very large numpy arrays. Separate
persistence and flow-execution logic from domain logic or algorithmic
code by writing the operations as a set of steps with well-defined
inputs and outputs: Python functions. Joblib can save their
computation to disk and rerun it only if necessary::
>>> from joblib import Memory
>>> mem = Memory(cachedir='/tmp/joblib')
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.vander(np.arange(3)).astype(np.float)
>>> square = mem.cache(np.square)
>>> b = square(a) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
________________________________________________________________________________
[Memory] Calling square...
square(array([[ 0., 0., 1.],
[ 1., 1., 1.],
[ 4., 2., 1.]]))
___________________________________________________________square - 0...s, 0.0min
>>> c = square(a)
>>> # The above call did not trigger an evaluation
2) **Embarrassingly parallel helper:** to make it easy to write readable
parallel code and debug it quickly::
>>> from joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> from math import sqrt
>>> Parallel(n_jobs=1)(delayed(sqrt)(i**2) for i in range(10))
[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0]
3) **Logging/tracing:** The different functionalities will
progressively acquire better logging mechanism to help track what
has been ran, and capture I/O easily. In addition, Joblib will
provide a few I/O primitives, to easily define logging and
display streams, and provide a way of compiling a report.
We want to be able to quickly inspect what has been run.
4) **Fast compressed Persistence**: a replacement for pickle to work
efficiently on Python objects containing large data (
*joblib.dump* & *joblib.load* ).
