SyNAP Python API Preview

Changelog

🚀 New Features

• Network API Enhancements (synap.Network):
  • New Network.predict(mapping) overload that accepts a mapping of {input_name: input_data}
  • Add Network.load_model_from_memory(bytes) for constructing a network from binary data, preventing ambiguity with Network.load(path) where path is a BytesLike filepath.
• Preprocessor Updates (`synap.preprocessor.Preprocessor):
  • Deprecated shape arg from Preprocessor.assign(), shape is now inferred from input data

Changelog

🚀 New Features

• Tensor API Enhancements (synap.Tensor):
  • Added Tensor.dimensions and Tensor.format properties
  • Relaxed data type matching to allow broader compatibility during assignment
• DataType Improvements (`synap.types.DataType):
  • DataType.bytes now maps to np.void
  • Added DataType.from_np_type() for mapping NumPy dtypes to DataType

🛠 Bug Fixes & Quality of Life Improvements

• Build System: Now supports builds for Python 3.10–3.13
• Better iteration:
  • Added support for negative indexing
  • Implemented Tensors.__iter__ in C++ for faster iteration

Changelog

🚀 New Features

• Dimensions Class (synap.types): Represents 4D tensor dimensions with named fields.
• Enhanced InputData Properties (synap.preprocessor.InputData): Added new properties for improved usability.
• NumPy View Support:
  • InputData.data() now returns a view of the internal data buffer as a NumPy array.
  • New view() function for synap.Tensor to return a NumPy array view of the tensor data.
  • Tensor.to_numpy() now returns a copy instead of a view.
• JSON Export Function (synap.postprocessor):
  • Added to_json_str() for exporting ClassifierResult and DetectorResult.

🛠 Bug Fixes & Quality of Life Improvements

• Memory Management: Improved overall safety and efficiency.
• Lifetime Fixes: Resolved object lifetime issues for certain classes.
