What it is and what it does
DataRecorder is a Python data-logging toolkit that buffers writes to disk files, reducing I/O overhead and protecting against data loss during crashes. It wraps four main tools: Recorder (for CSV, XLSX, JSON, TXT), Filler (for targeted cell writes in spreadsheets), ByteRecorder (for binary data), and DBRecorder (for SQLite). Each tool accepts data via `add_data()` and flushes to disk on `record()` or program exit.
The package is designed for data-collection workflows where frequent file opens are expensive and crashes risk data loss. It supports multithreaded writes to the same file and includes conveniences like auto-creating tables from dictionary keys and resuming interrupted tasks. The project is dormant (no updates in 668 days), so it is stable but will not receive active maintenance.
Use it for
- Batch-export scraped or collected data to CSV/XLSX without opening files repeatedly.
- Resume interrupted data collection by tracking progress in a spreadsheet and resuming from the last row.
- Write binary blobs (images, serialized objects) to disk with automatic batching.
- Insert records into SQLite with auto-created schema from dictionary data.
- Coordinate writes from multiple threads to a single output file safely.
