Maintaining Lists of Documents ==============================
A *document list* manages a list of documents. There are various implementations of varying powerfulness, all have the following in common:
* A document list keeps a fixed list of documents in order, i.e. after you created the list you can call the iteration functions and get the same file at the same position (even if, e.g., the underlying directory changes). So these files can be matched with lists of document *contents*.
* A document list separates a *base directory* with some way to form *file names*. Thus, you can easily create a mirror (of, e.g., files transformed in some way) in a different directory, or modify the way filenames are formed.

self.basepath = Path(basepath) self._segment_counts = None
""" Constructs a full path for the given document.
Args: document: this is one document in the way the subclass chooses to represent documents. as_str (bool): if True, the result is a str, otherwise it is a `Path`
Notes: The default implementation passed document on to `Path()`. Implementers will most probably want to override this. """

""" Records and flattens segment counts according to the stream of documents.
Assume you have three documents
| A : I am an example document | B : Me too | C : All examples reference themselves
:: docs = SimpleDocList('.', filenames=['A','B','C'])
Now, you have an (external) segmenter function that segments each document into segments each being at most two tokens long. The data structure your segmenter will produce looks similar to the following::
segmented_corpus = \ [[['I', 'am'], ['an', 'example'], ['document']], [['Me', 'too']], [['All', 'examples'], ['reference', 'themselves']]]
Now, if you run ``docs.flatten_segments(self)``, it will do two things: it will record how many segments each document has (A: 3, B: 1, C: 2), and it will return a structure flattened by one level as in the following::
[['I', 'am'], ['an', 'example'], ['document'], ['Me', 'too'], ['All', 'examples'], ['reference', 'themselves']]
I.e. the result will look like a corpus of six shorter documents. This matches with the iteration you get when you call docs.segments().

Returns: Iterable of segments.
Notes: Instead of lists you will receive generators, but you can iterate over these as well. """
