Using dataset uploaded from python for annotations

Hi,

I uploaded a dataset of images by the code below. The dataset exist in the database and files are inserted.
now I want to annotate the images in the dataset for annotations.

In my terminal I run: prodigy image.manual ImageTest_2 --label DOG,CAT
Unfortunately, I receive the message Oops, something went wrong :( when I go into the interface, in the browser.

from prodigy.components.db import connect
import base64
import os
from prodigy import set_hashes


def extract_pic(path):
    with open(path, 'rb') as f:
        img = f.read()
    encrypted = base64.encodebytes(img).decode("utf-8")
    d = {'image': encrypted}
    pic_json = set_hashes(d)
    return pic_json


def main(dataset_name):
    pic_dir = "../../Downloads/images"
    file_names = os.listdir(pic_dir)
    paths = map(lambda f: os.path.join(pic_dir, f), file_names)
    db = connect()
    data_json = list(map(lambda p: extract_pic(p), paths))
    a = db.add_dataset("ImageTest_2")  # create a new dataset
    b = db.add_examples(data_json, ["ImageTest_2"])  # add examples to the dataset
    assert 'ImageTest_2' in db
    dataset = db.get_dataset('ImageTest_2')  # retrieve a dataset
    print(dataset)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main('python upload')

The error message from when starting prodigy from the terminal:

Hi! I think this is what I was referring to in the other thread:

If you just want to label images, you don't need to add them to a dataset first. Datasets are where Prodigy saves annotations. If you just want to label images, all you need to do is pass the image.manual recipe the path to your images directory, and Prodigy will take care of the rest:

prodigy image.manual your_dataset /path/to/images --label DOG,CAT

As you label the images, they'll then be saved to the dataset your_dataset. (The error you saw is happening because you're not providing it with an input source – just a dataset to save the annotations to.)
