Python Usage

This page is Option 1 in the full repository workflow.

It is the bridge page for the package / local CLI path.

If you want direct Python usage of the reusable package, use the companion repository:

Use the package repository for:

  • direct Python scripting examples

  • loading trained models from Python

  • prediction helpers used after training

  • package-level automation and inference code

Use this repository instead for:

  • Docker workflows

  • AI4OS / OSCAR deployment

  • notebook assets and project-level examples

  • the broader phytoplankton workflow around the package

Typical Option 1 flow

The usual path is:

  1. install planktonclas

  2. create a project with planktonclas init

  3. validate the config

  4. train a model

  5. generate a report

For the detailed step-by-step explanation of that path, use:

What comes next

After Option 1, continue with:

  • Reference for project outputs and conventions

  • API Usage if you want to switch to browser/API work

  • Notebooks if you want notebook-based exploration
