Retriever#

class scikitplot.corpus.Retriever[source]#

Base class for an independent evidence path.

Notes

Subclasses implement retrieve and declare leg. Every leg returns a LegResult rather than a bare list, so a leg that could not run says so instead of returning an empty list indistinguishable from a genuine zero-hit answer.
