read_record

read_record(path)

A record back off disk. Plain data; from_dict(record["specification"]) runs it.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
path	str | Path	The run.json to read.	required

Returns

Name	Type	Description
	dict[str, Any]	The record as plain data: specification, pyplatypus, history, and derived
	dict[str, Any]	if the run had any. Nothing is reconstructed into objects, because the record is a
	dict[str, Any]	description of what happened and not a live thing.
