canMultiprocess: ClassVar[bool] = True

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() None

Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getFullMetadata() TaskMetadata

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadataTaskMetadata

The keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName() str

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:
fullNamestr

The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example:

  • The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”.

  • The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”.

  • The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getName() str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskNamestr

Name of the task.

getFullName
getTaskDict() dict[str, weakref.ReferenceType[lsst.pipe.base.task.Task]]

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:
taskDictdict

Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

get_box_wcs(skymap, oid)
classmethod makeField(doc: str) ConfigurableField

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:
docstr

Help text for the field.

Returns:
configurableFieldlsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField

A ConfigurableField for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config):
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("brief description of task")
makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) None

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:
namestr

Brief name of the subtask.

**keyArgs

Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden:

  • config.

  • parentTask.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

run(sourceCatalogs, photoCalibs, astromCalibs, dataIds, wcs, box, doApplyExternalSkyWcs=None, doApplyExternalPhotoCalib=None)

Run task algorithm on in-memory data.

This method should be implemented in a subclass. This method will receive keyword arguments whose names will be the same as names of connection fields describing input dataset types. Argument values will be data objects retrieved from data butler. If a dataset type is configured with multiple field set to True then the argument value will be a list of objects, otherwise it will be a single object.

If the task needs to know its input or output DataIds then it has to override runQuantum method instead.

This method should return a Struct whose attributes share the same name as the connection fields describing output dataset types.

Returns:
structStruct

Struct with attribute names corresponding to output connection fields

Examples

Typical implementation of this method may look like:

def run(self, input, calib):
    # "input", "calib", and "output" are the names of the config
    # fields

    # Assuming that input/calib datasets are `scalar` they are
    # simple objects, do something with inputs and calibs, produce
    # output image.
    image = self.makeImage(input, calib)

    # If output dataset is `scalar` then return object, not list
    return Struct(output=image)
runQuantum(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)

Do butler IO and transform to provide in memory objects for tasks run method.

Parameters:
butlerQCQuantumContext

A butler which is specialized to operate in the context of a lsst.daf.butler.Quantum.

inputRefsInputQuantizedConnection

Datastructure whose attribute names are the names that identify connections defined in corresponding PipelineTaskConnections class. The values of these attributes are the lsst.daf.butler.DatasetRef objects associated with the defined input/prerequisite connections.

outputRefsOutputQuantizedConnection

Datastructure whose attribute names are the names that identify connections defined in corresponding PipelineTaskConnections class. The values of these attributes are the lsst.daf.butler.DatasetRef objects associated with the defined output connections.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) Iterator[None]

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:
namestr

Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.

logLevel

A logging level constant.

Examples

Creating a timer context:

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time
