self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.

Parameters:

data (Any)

Return type:

None

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or `None` if `config.extra` is not set to `”allow”`.

Return type:

dict[str, Any] | None

property model_fields_set: set[str]

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set, – i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set=None, **values)

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the `Model` class with validated data.

Return type:

typing_extensions.Self

classmethod model_rebuild(*, force=False, raise_errors=True, _parent_namespace_depth=2, _types_namespace=None)

Try to rebuild the pydantic-core schema for the model.

Parameters:
  • force (bool) – Whether to force the rebuilding of the model schema, defaults to False.

  • raise_errors (bool) – Whether to raise errors, defaults to True.

  • _parent_namespace_depth (int) – The depth level of the parent namespace, defaults to 2.

Returns:
  • Returns `None` if the schema is already “complete” and rebuilding was not required.

  • If rebuilding _was_ required, returns `True` if rebuilding was successful, otherwise `False`.

Return type:

bool | None

Return type:

typing_extensions.Self

classmethod __get_pydantic_core_schema__(source, handler, /)

Hook into generating the model’s CoreSchema.

Parameters:
  • source (type[BaseModel]) – The class we are generating a schema for. This will generally be the same as the cls argument if this is a classmethod.

  • handler (pydantic.annotated_handlers.GetCoreSchemaHandler) – A callable that calls into Pydantic’s internal CoreSchema generation logic.

Returns:

A `pydantic-core` `CoreSchema`.

Return type:

pydantic_core.CoreSchema

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema, handler, /)

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (pydantic_core.CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (pydantic.annotated_handlers.GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

pydantic.json_schema.JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs)

This is intended to behave just like __init_subclass__, but is called by ModelMetaclass only after the class is actually fully initialized. In particular, attributes like model_fields will be present when this is called.

This is necessary because __init_subclass__ will always be called by type.__new__, and it would require a prohibitively large refactor to the ModelMetaclass to ensure that type.__new__ was called in such a manner that the class would already be sufficiently initialized.

This will receive the same kwargs that would be passed to the standard __init_subclass__, namely, any kwargs passed to the class definition that aren’t used internally by pydantic.

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Any keyword arguments passed to the class definition that aren’t used internally by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __class_getitem__(typevar_values)
Parameters:

typevar_values (type[Any] | tuple[type[Any], Ellipsis])

typing_extensions.Self

__getattr__(item)
Parameters:

item (str)

Return type:

Any

_check_frozen(name, value)
Parameters:
  • name (str)

  • value (Any)

Return type:

None

__getstate__()
Return type:

dict[Any, Any]

__setstate__(state)
Parameters:

state (dict[Any, Any])

Return type:

None

__eq__(other)
Parameters:

other (Any)

Return type:

bool

classmethod __init_subclass__(**kwargs)

This signature is included purely to help type-checkers check arguments to class declaration, which provides a way to conveniently set model_config key/value pairs.

```py from pydantic import BaseModel

class MyModel(BaseModel, extra=’allow’): … ```

However, this may be deceiving, since the _actual_ calls to __init_subclass__ will not receive any of the config arguments, and will only receive any keyword arguments passed during class initialization that are _not_ expected keys in ConfigDict. (This is due to the way ModelMetaclass.__new__ works.)

Parameters:

**kwargs (typing_extensions.Unpack[pydantic.config.ConfigDict]) – Keyword arguments passed to the class definition, which set model_config

Note

You may want to override __pydantic_init_subclass__ instead, which behaves similarly but is called after the class is fully initialized.

class medcat.tokenizing.tokenizers.Registry(type, lazy_defaults=None)

Bases: Generic[P]

Abstract base class for generic types.

A generic type is typically declared by inheriting from this class parameterized with one or more type variables. For example, a generic mapping type might be defined as:

class Mapping(Generic[KT, VT]):
    def __getitem__(self, key: KT) -> VT:
        ...
    # Etc.

This class can then be used as follows:

def lookup_name(mapping: Mapping[KT, VT], key: KT, default: VT) -> VT:
    try:
        return mapping[key]
    except KeyError:
        return default

class medcat.tokenizing.tokenizers.SaveableTokenizer

Bases: Protocol

Base class for protocol classes.

Protocol classes are defined as:

class Proto(Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> int:
        ...

Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing), for example:

class C:
    def meth(self) -> int:
        return 0

def func(x: Proto) -> int:
    return x.meth()

func(C())  # Passes static type check

See PEP 544 for details. Protocol classes decorated with @typing.runtime_checkable act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures. Protocol classes can be generic, they are defined as:

class GenProto(Protocol[T]):
    def meth(self) -> T:
        ...
save_internals_to(folder_path)

Save tokenizer internals to specified folder.

The returning folder’s basename should start with TOKENIZER_PREFIX.

Returns:

str – The subfolder the internals were saved to.

Return type:

str

load_internals_from(folder_path)

Attempt to load internals from a folder path.

If the specified folder exists, internals will be loaded. If the folder doesn’t exist, nothing will be loaded.

The given folder’s basename should start with TOKENIZER_PREFIX.

Parameters:

folder_path (str) – The path to the folder to load internals from.

Returns:

bool – Whether the loading was successful.

Return type:

bool
