001 Refactor ModelPath and EnsemblePath to ModelPathManager and EnsemblePathManager

[smellycloud]

Title

Rename ModelPath and EnsemblePath to ModelPathManager and EnsemblePathManager respectively, and refactor related tools into separate files.

Description

This issue aims to rename the ModelPath and EnsemblePath classes to ModelPathManager and EnsemblePathManager respectively. Additionally, it proposes moving model and ensemble related tools into their own files for better organization and maintainability.

Motivation

This change is necessary to improve the clarity and organization of the codebase. By renaming the classes and separating the tools into distinct files, it will be easier for developers to understand and maintain the code. This will also help in avoiding potential naming conflicts and improve the overall structure of the project.

Proposed Solution

1. Rename ModelPath to ModelPathManager and EnsemblePath to EnsemblePathManager.
2. Move model-related tools to a new file model.py.
3. Move ensemble-related tools to a new file ensemble.py.
4. Update imports across the codebase to reflect these changes. For example:

from views_pipeline_core.managers.model import ModelPathManager, ModelManager
from views_pipeline_core.managers.ensemble import EnsemblePathManager, EnsembleManager

Instead of the existing solution:

from views_pipeline_core.managers.model_manager import ModelManager
from views_pipeline_core.managers.ensemble_manager import EnsembleManager
from views_pipeline_core.managers.path_manager import ModelPath, EnsemblePath

Alternatives Considered

No alternative solutions were considered as this change is straightforward and necessary for improving code organization.

Additional Context

• Ensure that all references to ModelPath and EnsemblePath are updated in the codebase, including documentation and comments.
• Verify that all tests pass after making these changes.
