httpstan.models

Compile a Stan model extension module given code written in Stan.

These functions manage the process of compiling a Python extension module from C++ code generated and loading the resulting module.

Module Contents

Functions

calculate_model_name(program_code: str) → str

Calculate model name from Stan program code.

import_services_extension_module(model_name: str) → types.ModuleType

Load an existing model-specific stan::services extension module.

build_services_extension_module(program_code: str, extra_compile_args: Optional[List[str]] = None) → str

Compile a model-specific stan::services extension module.

httpstan.models.calculate_model_name(program_code: str) → str[source]

Calculate model name from Stan program code.

Names look like this: models/2uxewutp. Name uses a hash of the concatenation of the following:

  • UTF-8 encoded Stan program code

  • UTF-8 encoded string recording the httpstan version

  • UTF-8 encoded string identifying the system platform

  • UTF-8 encoded string identifying the system bit architecture

  • UTF-8 encoded string identifying the Python version

  • UTF-8 encoded string identifying the Python executable

Parameters

program_code – Stan program code.

Returns

model name

Return type

str

httpstan.models.import_services_extension_module(model_name: str) → types.ModuleType[source]

Load an existing model-specific stan::services extension module.

Parameters

model_name –

Returns

loaded module handle.

Return type

module

Raises

KeyError – Model not found.

async httpstan.models.build_services_extension_module(program_code: str, extra_compile_args: Optional[List[str]] = None) → str[source]

Compile a model-specific stan::services extension module.

Since compiling an extension module takes a long time, compilation takes place in a different thread.

Messages generated by the compiler—normally sent to stderr—are collected and saved. These messages are returned by the function.

Returns compiler messages.

This is a coroutine function.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This function builds the extension module in the cache directory, making it available for later import`ing. This “side-effect” is why there are no functions called `load_services_extension_module and dump_services_extension_module.
