Albucore Public API

Albucore Public API

Star Import

from albucore import * follows albucore/__init__.py, which merges __all__ from functions, decorators, geometric, and utils, plus metadata.

Most routers live in albucore/functions.py __all__, re-exported from arithmetic, lut, normalize, convert, ops_misc, and stats. Geometric routers live in albucore/geometric.py __all__ and are separately merged by package __init__; resize3d is one such router.

Classification Doc

Use docs/public-api.md for router classification and explicit from albucore.functions import ... shims such as *_opencv, *_numpy, NumKong helpers, and LUT plumbing.

Dependents

If Albumentations or another downstream package imports a symbol, it must be either:

• On package __all__ for star-import compatibility, or
• Documented with an explicit import path such as albucore.functions.

Example: sz_lut and apply_uint8_lut are public routers on __all__ and are implemented in albucore/lut.py.

Adding an Export

1. Implement in the appropriate submodule (arithmetic.py, lut.py, geometric.py, etc.).
2. For a regular router, ensure from submodule import * in functions.py exposes the name and append it to functions.__all__, sorted or grouped with peers.
3. For a geometric router, append it to geometric.__all__; do not add a compatibility shim to functions.py unless there is a separate public-API decision.
4. Confirm from albucore import <name> succeeds and that the name occurs once in package __all__.
5. Update docs/public-api.md if classification changes.
