get_num_length_from_key()

Coroutine that gets the length of digits in LMDB key.

improv.utils.utils.get_num_length_from_key()

Coroutine that gets the length of digits in LMDB key. Assumes that object name does not have any digits.

For example:

FileAcquirer puts objects with names ‘acq_raw{i}’ where i is the frame number. {i}, however, is not padded with zero, so the length changes with number. The B-tree sorting in LMDB results in messed up number sorting.

Example

>>> num_idx = get_num_length_from_key()
>>> num_idx.send(b'acq_raw1€GA×L°°.')
