SpanGroup
A group of arbitrary, potentially overlapping Span objects that
all belong to the same Doc object. The group can be named, and you
can attach additional attributes to it. Span groups are generally accessed via
the Doc.spans attribute, which will convert lists of spans
into a SpanGroup object for you automatically on assignment. SpanGroup
objects behave similar to lists, so you can append Span objects to them or
access a member at a given index.
SpanGroup.__init__ method
Create a SpanGroup.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
doc | The document the span group belongs to. Doc |
| keyword-only | |
name | The name of the span group. If the span group is created automatically on assignment to doc.spans, the key name is used. Defaults to "". str |
attrs | Optional JSON-serializable attributes to attach to the span group. Dict[str, Any] |
spans | The spans to add to the span group. Iterable[Span] |
SpanGroup.doc property
The Doc object the span group is referring to.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| RETURNS | The reference document. Doc |
SpanGroup.has_overlap property
Check whether the span group contains overlapping spans.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| RETURNS | Whether the span group contains overlaps. bool |
SpanGroup.__len__ method
Get the number of spans in the group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| RETURNS | The number of spans in the group. int |
SpanGroup.__getitem__ method
Get a span from the group. Note that a copy of the span is returned, so if any changes are made to this span, they are not reflected in the corresponding member of the span group. The item or group will need to be reassigned for changes to be reflected in the span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
i | The item index. int |
| RETURNS | The span at the given index. Span |
SpanGroup.__setitem__ methodv3.3
Set a span in the span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
i | The item index. int |
span | The new value. Span |
SpanGroup.__delitem__ methodv3.3
Delete a span from the span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
i | The item index. int |
SpanGroup.__add__ methodv3.3
Concatenate the current span group with another span group and return the result
in a new span group. Any attrs from the first span group will have precedence
over attrs in the second.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
other | The span group or spans to concatenate. Union[SpanGroup, Iterable[Span]] |
| RETURNS | The new span group. SpanGroup |
SpanGroup.__iadd__ methodv3.3
Append an iterable of spans or the content of a span group to the current span
group. Any attrs in the other span group will be added for keys that are not
already present in the current span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
other | The span group or spans to append. Union[SpanGroup, Iterable[Span]] |
| RETURNS | The span group. SpanGroup |
SpanGroup.append method
Add a Span object to the group. The span must refer to the same
Doc object as the span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
span | The span to append. Span |
SpanGroup.extend method
Add multiple Span objects or contents of another SpanGroup to
the group. All spans must refer to the same Doc object as the span
group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
spans | The spans to add. Union[SpanGroup, Iterable[“Span”]] |
SpanGroup.copy methodv3.3
Return a copy of the span group.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| RETURNS | A copy of the SpanGroup object. SpanGroup |
SpanGroup.to_bytes method
Serialize the span group to a bytestring.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| RETURNS | The serialized SpanGroup. bytes |
SpanGroup.from_bytes method
Load the span group from a bytestring. Modifies the object in place and returns it.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
bytes_data | The data to load from. bytes |
| RETURNS | The SpanGroup object. SpanGroup |
