does

@does is a decorator that essentially allows you to run a function over all the input parameters. So you can’t pass any old function to @does, instead the function passed has to take any amount of inputs and process them all in the same way.

import pandas as pd
from hamilton.function_modifiers import does
import internal_package_with_logic

def sum_series(**series: pd.Series) -> pd.Series:
    """This function takes any number of inputs and sums them all together."""
    ...

@does(sum_series)
def D_XMAS_GC_WEIGHTED_BY_DAY(D_XMAS_GC_WEIGHTED_BY_DAY_1: pd.Series,
                              D_XMAS_GC_WEIGHTED_BY_DAY_2: pd.Series) -> pd.Series:
    """Adds D_XMAS_GC_WEIGHTED_BY_DAY_1 and D_XMAS_GC_WEIGHTED_BY_DAY_2"""
    pass

@does(internal_package_with_logic.identity_function)
def copy_of_x(x: pd.Series) -> pd.Series:
    """Just returns x"""
    pass

The example here is a function, that all that it does, is sum all the parameters together. So we can annotate it with the @does decorator and pass it the sum_series function. The @does decorator is currently limited to just allow functions that consist only of one argument, a generic **kwargs.

__init__(replacing_function: Callable, **argument_mapping: str | List[str])

Constructor for a modifier that replaces the annotated functions functionality with something else. Right now this has a very strict validation requirements to make compliance with the framework easy.

Parameters:

• replacing_function – The function to replace the original function with.

• argument_mapping – A mapping of argument name in the replacing function to argument name in the decorating function.
