"""This module is central to the proper functioning of the entire library. It defines
:class:`Environment`, which (when activated) is used by the vast majority of the other
operation-critical modules in the library. :class:`Environment` can be viewed as a simple storage
container that defines settings that characterize the Experiments/OptimizationProtocols to be
conducted, and influence how those processes are carried out

Related
-------
:mod:`hyperparameter_hunter.settings`
    This module is the doorway for other modules to access the settings defined by
    :class:`environment.Environment`, which sets :attr:`hyperparameter_hunter.settings.G.Env` to
    itself as its first action. This allows other modules to access any information they need from
    the active :class:`environment.Environment` via :attr:`hyperparameter_hunter.settings.G.Env`.
    :class:`hyperparameter_hunter.settings.G` also provides other modules with access to the
    logging methods that are initialized by :class:`hyperparameter_hunter.environment.Environment`

Notes
-----
Despite the fact that :mod:`hyperparameter_hunter.settings` is the only module listed as being
"related", pretty much all the other modules in the library are related to
:class:`hyperparameter_hunter.environment.Environment` by way of this relation"""

        """Class to organize the parameters that allow Experiments/OptPros to be fairly compared

        `Environment` is the collective starting point for all of HyperparameterHunter's biggest
        and best toys: Experiments and OptimizationProtocols. Without an `Environment`, neither of
        these will work.

        The `Environment` is where we declare all the parameters that transcend traditional
        "hyperparameters". It houses the stuff without which machine learning can't even really
        start. Specifically, `Environment` cares about 1) The data used for fitting/predicting,
        2) The cross-validation scheme used to split the data and fit models; and 3) How to evaluate
        the predictions made on that data. There are plenty of other goodies documented below, but
        the absolutely mission-critical parameters concerned with the above tasks are
        `train_dataset`, `cv_type`, `cv_params`, and `metrics`. Additionally, it's important to
        provide `results_path`, so Experiment/OptPro results can be saved, which is kind of what
        HyperparameterHunter is all about

        Parameters
        ----------
        train_dataset: Pandas.DataFrame, or str path
            The training data for the experiment. Will be split into train/holdout data, if
            applicable, and train/validation data if cross-validation is to be performed. If str,
            will attempt to read file at path via :func:`pandas.read_csv`. For more information on
            which columns will be used during fitting/predicting, see the "Dataset columns" note
            in the "Notes" section below
        environment_params_path: String path, or None, default=None
            If not None and is valid .json filepath containing an object (dict), the file's contents
            are treated as the default values for all keys that match any of the below kwargs used
            to initialize :class:`Environment`
        results_path: String path, or None, default=None
            If valid directory path and the results directory has not yet been created, it will be
            created here. If this does not end with <ASSETS_DIRNAME>, it will be appended. If
            <ASSETS_DIRNAME> already exists at this path, new results will also be stored here. If
            None or invalid, results will not be stored
        metrics: Dict, List, or None, default=None
            Iterable describing the metrics to be recorded, along with a means to compute the value
            of each metric. Should be of one of the two following forms:

            List Form:

            * ["<metric name>", "<metric name>", ...]:
              Where each value is a string that names an attribute in :mod:`sklearn.metrics`
            * [`Metric`, `Metric`, ...]:
              Where each value of the list is an instance of :class:`metrics.Metric`
            * [(<name>, <metric_function>, [<direction>]), (<\*args>), ...]:
              Where each value of the list is a tuple of arguments that will be used to instantiate
              a :class:`metrics.Metric`. Arguments given in tuples must be in order expected by
              :class:`metrics.Metric`: (`name`, `metric_function`, `direction`)

            Dict Form:

            * {"<metric name>": <metric_function>, ...}:
              Where each key is a name for the corresponding metric callable, which is used to
              compute the value of the metric
            * {"<metric name>": (<metric_function>, <direction>), ...}:
              Where each key is a name for the corresponding metric callable and direction, all of
              which are used to instantiate a :class:`metrics.Metric`
            * {"<metric name>": "<sklearn metric name>", ...}:
              Where each key is a name for the metric, and each value is the name of the attribute
              in :mod:`sklearn.metrics` for which the corresponding key is an alias
            * {"<metric name>": None, ...}:
              Where each key is the name of the attribute in :mod:`sklearn.metrics`
            * {"<metric name>": `Metric`, ...}:
              Where each key names an instance of :class:`metrics.Metric`. This is the
              internally-used format to which all other formats will be converted

            Metric callable functions should expect inputs of form (target, prediction), and should
            return floats. See the documentation of :class:`metrics.Metric` for information
            regarding expected parameters and types
        holdout_dataset: Pandas.DataFrame, callable, str path, or None, default=None
            If pd.DataFrame, this is the holdout dataset. If callable, expects a function that takes
            (self.train: DataFrame, self.target_column: str) as input and returns the new
            (self.train: DataFrame, self.holdout: DataFrame). If str, will attempt to read file at
            path via :func:`pandas.read_csv`. Else, there is no holdout set. For more information on
            which columns will be used during fitting/predicting, see the "Dataset columns" note
            in the "Notes" section below
        test_dataset: Pandas.DataFrame, str path, or None, default=None
            The testing data for the experiment. Structure should be identical to that of
            `train_dataset`, except its `target_column` column can be empty or non-existent, because
            `test_dataset` predictions will never be evaluated. If str, will attempt to read file at
            path via :func:`pandas.read_csv`. For more information on which columns will be used
            during fitting/predicting, see the "Dataset columns" note in the "Notes" section below
        target_column: Str, or list, default='target'
            If str, denotes the column name in all provided datasets (except test) that contains the
            target output. If list, should be a list of strs designating multiple target columns.
            For example, in a multi-class classification dataset like UCI's hand-written digits,
            `target_column` would be a list containing ten strings. In this example, the
            `target_column` data would be sparse, with a 1 to signify that a sample is a written
            example of a digit (0-9). For a working example, see
            'hyperparameter_hunter/examples/lib_keras_multi_classification_example.py'
        id_column: Str, or None, default=None
            If not None, str denoting the column name in all provided datasets containing sample IDs
        do_predict_proba: Boolean, or int, default=False
            * If False, :meth:`.models.Model.fit` will call :meth:`models.Model.model.predict`
            * If True, it will call :meth:`models.Model.model.predict_proba`, and the values in all
              columns will be used as the actual prediction values
            * If `do_predict_proba` is an int, :meth:`.models.Model.fit` will call
              :meth:`models.Model.model.predict_proba`, as is the case when `do_predict_proba` is
              True, but the int supplied as `do_predict_proba` declares the column index to use as
              the actual prediction values
            * For example, for a model to call the `predict` method, `do_predict_proba=False`
              (default). For a model to call the `predict_proba` method, and use all of the class
              probabilities, `do_predict_proba=True`. To call the `predict_proba` method, and use
              the class probabilities in the first column, `do_predict_proba=0`. To use the second
              column (index 1) of the result, `do_predict_proba=1` - This often corresponds to the
              positive class's probabilities in binary classification problems. To use the third
              column `do_predict_proba=2`, and so on
        prediction_formatter: Callable, or None, default=None
            If callable, expected to have same signature as
            :func:`.utils.result_utils.format_predictions`. That is, the callable will receive
            (raw_predictions: np.array, dataset_df: pd.DataFrame, target_column: str,
            id_column: str or None) as input and should return a properly formatted prediction
            DataFrame. The callable uses raw_predictions as the content, dataset_df to provide any
            id column, and target_column to identify the column in which to place raw_predictions
        metrics_params: Dict, or None, default=dict()
            Dictionary of extra parameters to provide to :meth:`.metrics.ScoringMixIn.__init__`.
            `metrics` must be provided either 1) as an input kwarg to
            :meth:`Environment.__init__` (see `metrics`), or 2) as a key in `metrics_params`,
            but not both. An Exception will be raised if both are given, or if neither is given
        cv_type: Class or str, default='KFold'
            The class to define cross-validation splits. If str, it must be an attribute of
            `sklearn.model_selection._split`, and it must be a cross-validation class that inherits
            one of the following `sklearn` classes: `BaseCrossValidator`, or `_RepeatedSplits`.
            Valid str values include 'KFold', and 'RepeatedKFold', although there are many more. It
            must implement the following methods: [`__init__`, `split`]. If using a custom class,
            see the following tested `sklearn` classes for proper implementations:
            [`KFold`, `StratifiedKFold`, `RepeatedKFold`, `RepeatedStratifiedKFold`]. The arguments
            provided to :meth:`cv_type.__init__` will be :attr:`Environment.cv_params`, which should
            include the following: ['n_splits' <int>, 'n_repeats' <int> (if applicable)].
            :meth:`cv_type.split` will receive the following arguments:
            [:attr:`BaseExperiment.train_input_data`, :attr:`BaseExperiment.train_target_data`]
        runs: Int, default=1
            The number of times to fit a model within each fold to perform multiple-run-averaging
            with different random seeds
        global_random_seed: Int, default=32
            The initial random seed used just before generating an Experiment's random_seeds. This
            ensures consistency for `random_seeds` between Experiments, without having to explicitly
            provide it here
        random_seeds: None, or List, default=None
            If None, `random_seeds` of the appropriate shape will be created automatically. Else,
            must be a list of ints of shape (`cv_params['n_repeats']`, `cv_params['n_splits']`,
            `runs`). If `cv_params` does not have the key `n_repeats` (because standard
            cross-validation is being used), the value will default to 1. See
            :meth:`.experiments.BaseExperiment._random_seed_initializer` for info on expected shape
        random_seed_bounds: List, default=[0, 100000]
            A list containing two integers: the lower and upper bounds, respectively, for generating
            an Experiment's random seeds in
            :meth:`.experiments.BaseExperiment._random_seed_initializer`. Generally, leave this
            kwarg alone
        cv_params: dict, or None, default=dict()
            Parameters provided upon initialization of cv_type. Keys may be any args accepted by
            :meth:`cv_type.__init__`. Number of fold splits must be provided via "n_splits", and
            number of repeats (if applicable for `cv_type`) must be provided via "n_repeats"
        verbose: Int, boolean, default=3
            Verbosity of printing for any experiments performed while this Environment is active

            Higher values indicate more frequent logging. Logs are still recorded in the heartbeat
            file regardless of verbosity level. `verbose` only dictates which logs are visible in
            the console. The following table illustrates which types of logging messages will be
            visible with each verbosity level::

                | Verbosity | Keys/IDs | Final Score | Repetitions* | Folds | Runs* | Run Starts* | Result Files | Other |
                |:---------:|:--------:|:-----------:|:------------:|:-----:|:-----:|:-----------:|:------------:|:-----:|
                |     0     |          |             |              |       |       |             |              |       |
                |     1     |    Yes   |     Yes     |              |       |       |             |              |       |
                |     2     |    Yes   |     Yes     |      Yes     |  Yes  |       |             |              |       |
                |     3     |    Yes   |     Yes     |      Yes     |  Yes  |  Yes  |             |              |       |
                |     4     |    Yes   |     Yes     |      Yes     |  Yes  |  Yes  |     Yes     |      Yes     |  Yes  |

            *\*: If such logging is deemed appropriate with the given cross-validation parameters. In
            other words, repetition/run logging will only be verbose if Environment was given more
            than one repetition/run, respectively*
        file_blacklist: List of str, or None, or 'ALL', default=None
            If list of str, the result files named within are not saved to their respective
            directory in "<ASSETS_DIRNAME>/Experiments". If None, all result files are saved.
            If 'ALL', nothing at all will be saved for the Experiments. If the path of the file that
            initializes an Experiment does not end with a ".py" extension, the Experiment proceeds
            as if "script_backup" had been added to `file_blacklist`. This means that backup files
            will not be created for Jupyter notebooks (or any other non-".py" files). For info on
            acceptable values, see :func:`validate_file_blacklist`
        reporting_params: Dict, default=dict()
            Parameters passed to initialize :class:`.reporting.ReportingHandler`
        to_csv_params: Dict, default=dict()
            Parameters passed to the calls to :meth:`pandas.frame.DataFrame.to_csv` in
            :mod:`recorders`. In particular, this is where an Experiment's final prediction files
            are saved, so the values here will affect the format of the .csv prediction files.
            Warning: If `to_csv_params` contains the key "path_or_buf", it will be removed.
            Otherwise, all items are supplied directly to :meth:`to_csv`, including kwargs it might
            not be expecting if they are given
        do_full_save: None, or callable, default=:func:`utils.result_utils.default_do_full_save`
            If callable, expected to take an Experiment's result description dict as input and
            return a boolean. If None, treated as a callable that returns True. This parameter is
            used by :class:`recorders.DescriptionRecorder` to determine whether the Experiment
            result files following the description should also be created. If `do_full_save` returns
            False, result file-saving is stopped early, and only the description is saved. If
            `do_full_save` returns True, all files not in `file_blacklist` are saved normally. This
            allows you to skip creation of an Experiment's predictions, logs, and heartbeats if its
            score does not meet some threshold you set, for example. `do_full_save` receives the
            Experiment description dict as input, so for help setting `do_full_save`, just look into
            one of your Experiment descriptions
        experiment_callbacks: `LambdaCallback`, or list of `LambdaCallback` (optional)
            Callbacks injected directly into Experiments, adding new functionality, or customizing
            existing processes. Should be a :class:`LambdaCallback` or a list of such classes.
            `LambdaCallback` can be created using :func:`.callbacks.bases.lambda_callback`, which
            documents the options for creating callbacks. `experiment_callbacks` will be added to
            the MRO of the executed Experiment class by :class:`.experiment_core.ExperimentMeta` at
            `__call__` time, making `experiment_callbacks` new base classes of the Experiment. See
            :func:`.callbacks.bases.lambda_callback` for more information. Note that the Experiments
            conducted by OptPros will still benefit from `experiment_callbacks`. The presence of
            LambdaCallbacks will affect neither Environment keys, nor Experiment keys. In other
            words, for the purposes of Experiment matching/recording, all other factors being equal,
            an Experiment with `experiment_callbacks` is considered identical to an Experiment
            without, despite whatever custom functionality was added by the LambdaCallbacks
        experiment_recorders: List, None, default=None
            If not None, may be a list whose values are tuples of
            (<:class:`recorders.BaseRecorder` descendant>, <str result_path>). The result_path str
            should be a path relative to `results_path` that specifies the directory/file in
            which the product of the custom recorder should be saved. The contents of
            `experiment_recorders` will be provided to `recorders.RecorderList` upon completion of
            an Experiment, and, if the subclassing documentation in `recorders` is followed
            properly, will create or update a result file for the just-executed Experiment
        save_transformed_metrics: Boolean (optional)
            Declares manner in which a model's predictions should be evaluated through the provided
            `metrics`, with regard to target data transformations. This setting can be ignored if
            no transformation of the target variable takes place (either through
            :class:`~hyperparameter_hunter.feature_engineering.FeatureEngineer`,
            :class:`~hyperparameter_hunter.feature_engineering.EngineerStep`, or otherwise).

            The default value of `save_transformed_metrics` depends on the dtype of the target data
            in `train_dataset`. If all target columns are numeric, `save_transformed_metrics`=False,
            meaning metric evaluation should use the original/inverted targets and predictions. Else
            if any target column is non-numeric, `save_transformed_metrics`=True, meaning evaluation
            should use the transformed targets and predictions because most metrics require numeric
            inputs. This is described further in :attr:`save_transformed_metrics`. A more
            descriptive name for this may be "calculate_metrics_using_transformed_predictions",
            but that's a bit verbose--even by my standards

        train_input: DatasetSentinel
            Sentinel replaced with current train input data during `Model` fitting/predicting.
            Commonly given in the `model_extra_params` kwargs of
            :class:`hyperparameter_hunter.experiments.BaseExperiment` or
            :meth:`hyperparameter_hunter.optimization.protocol_core.BaseOptPro.forge_experiment` for
            `eval_set`-like hyperparameters. Importantly, the actual value of this Sentinel is
            determined after performing cross-validation data splitting, and after executing
            :class:`~hyperparameter_hunter.feature_engineering.FeatureEngineer`
        train_target: DatasetSentinel
            Like :attr:`.train_input`, except for current train target data
        validation_input: DatasetSentinel
            Like :attr:`.train_input`, except for current validation input data
        validation_target: DatasetSentinel
            Like :attr:`.train_input`, except for current validation target data
        holdout_input: DatasetSentinel
            Like :attr:`.train_input`, except for current holdout input data
        holdout_target: DatasetSentinel
            Like :attr:`.train_input`, except for current holdout target data

        Notes
        -----
        Dataset columns: In order to specify the columns to be used by the three dataset kwargs
        (`train_dataset`, `holdout_dataset`, `test_dataset`) during fitting and predicting, a few
        attributes can be used. On `Environment` initialization, the columns specified by the
        following kwargs will be separated from the rest of the dataset during training/predicting:
        1) `target_column`, which names the column containing the target output labels for the input
        data; and 2) `id_column`, which (if given) represents the name of the column that contains
        identifying information for each data sample, and should otherwise have no relation to the
        actual data. Additionally, the `feature_selector` kwarg of the descendants of
        :class:`hyperparameter_hunter.experiments.BaseExperiment` (like
        :class:`hyperparameter_hunter.experiments.CVExperiment`) is used to filter out
        columns of the given datasets prior to fitting. See its documentation for more information,
        but it can effectively be used to remove any columns from the datasets

        Overriding default kwargs at `environment_params_path`: If you have any of the above kwargs
        specified in the .json file at environment_params_path (except environment_params_path,
        which will be ignored), you can override its value by passing it as a kwarg when
        initializing :class:`Environment`. The contents at environment_params_path are only used
        when the matching kwarg supplied at initialization is None. See
        "/examples/environment_params_path_example.py" for details

        The order of precedence for determining the value of each parameter is as follows, with
        items at the top having the highest priority, and deferring only to the items below if
        their own value is None:

        * 1)kwargs passed directly to :meth:`.Environment.__init__` on initialization,
        * 2)keys of the file at environment_params_path (if valid .json object),
        * 3)keys of :attr:`hyperparameter_hunter.environment.Environment.DEFAULT_PARAMS`

        do_predict_proba: Because this parameter can be either a boolean or an integer, it is
        important to explicitly pass booleans rather than truthy or falsey values. Similarly, only
        pass integers if you intend for the value to be used as a column index. Do not pass `0` to
        mean `False`, or `1` to mean `True`

def validate_file_blacklist(blacklist):
    """Validate contents of blacklist. For most values, the corresponding file is saved upon
    completion of the experiment. See the "Notes" section below for details on some special cases

    Parameters
    ----------
    blacklist: List of strings, or None
        The result files that should not be saved

    Returns
    -------
    blacklist: List
        If not empty, acceptable list of result file types to blacklist

    Notes
    -----
    'heartbeat': If the heartbeat file is saved, a new file is not generated and saved to the
    "Experiments/Heartbeats" directory as is the case with most other files. Instead, the general
    "Heartbeat.log" file is copied and renamed to the current experiment id, then saved to the
    appropriate dir. This is because the general "Heartbeat.log" file represents the heartbeat
    for whatever experiment is currently in progress.

    'script_backup': This file is saved as quickly as possible after starting a new experiment,
    rather than waiting for the experiment to end. There are two reasons for this behavior: 1) to
    avoid saving any changes that may have been made to a file after it has been executed, and 2)
    to have the offending file in the event of a catastrophic failure that results in no other
    files being saved. As stated in the documentation of the `file_blacklist` parameter of
    `Environment`, if the path of the file that initializes an Experiment does not end with a ".py"
    extension, the Experiment proceeds as if "script_backup" had been added to `blacklist`. This
    means that backup files will not be created for Jupyter notebooks (or any other non-".py" files)

    'description' and 'tested_keys': These two results types constitute a bare minimum of sorts for
    experiment recording. If either of these two are blacklisted, then as far as the library is
    concerned, the experiment never took place.

    'tested_keys' (continued): If this string is included in the blacklist, then the contents of the
    "KeyAttributeLookup" directory will also be excluded from the list of files to update

    'current_heartbeat': The general heartbeat file that should be stored at
    'HyperparameterHunterAssets/Heartbeat.log'. If this value is blacklisted, then 'heartbeat' is
    also added to `blacklist` automatically out of necessity. This is done because the heartbeat
    file for the current experiment cannot be created as a copy of the general heartbeat file if the
    general heartbeat file is never created in the first place"""
