BaseIdGeneratorConfig¶

class lsst.meas.base.BaseIdGeneratorConfig(*args, **kw)¶

Bases: Config

Base class for configuration of IdGenerator instances.

This class is abstract (it cannot use abc.ABCMeta due to a metaclass conflict), and it should mostly be considered an implementation detail of how the attributes it defines are included in its concrete derived classes. Derived classes must implemented _make_dimension_packer.

See IdGenerator for usage.

Attributes Documentation

history¶: Read-only history.

n_releases¶: Number of (contiguous, starting from zero) release_id values to reserve space for. One (not zero) is used to reserve no space. (int, default 1)

release_id¶: Identifier for a data release or other version to embed in generated IDs. Zero is reserved for IDs with no embedded release identifier. (int, default 0)

Methods Documentation

apply(data_id: DataCoordinate, **kwargs: Any) → IdGenerator¶

Construct an IdGenerator instance from this configuration.

Parameters:

data_idDataCoordinate: The data ID the IdGenerator will embed into all IDs. This generally must be a fully-expanded data ID (i.e. have dimension records attached), that identifies the “instrument” or “skymap” dimension, though this requirement may be relaxed for certain dimension packer types.
**kwargs: Additional keyword arguments are interpreted as dimension value pairs to include in the data ID. This may be used to provide constraints on dimensions for which records are not available.

Returns:

id_generatorIdGenerator: Object that generates integer IDs for catalogs and their rows by embedding the given data ID and a configurably-optional release ID.

Notes

This method is called apply for consistency with the pattern of using lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField and lsst.pex.config.RegistryField to construct the objects whose configuration they hold. It doesn’t actually use those mechanisms because we have many config classes for the one IdGenerator class, instead of the other way around, and as a result a “config as factory” approach works better.

compare(other, shortcut=True, rtol=1e-08, atol=1e-08, output=None)¶

Compare this configuration to another Config for equality.

Parameters:

otherlsst.pex.config.Config: Other Config object to compare against this config.
shortcutbool, optional: If True, return as soon as an inequality is found. Default is True.
rtolfloat, optional: Relative tolerance for floating point comparisons.
atolfloat, optional: Absolute tolerance for floating point comparisons.
outputcallable, optional: A callable that takes a string, used (possibly repeatedly) to report inequalities.

Returns:

isEqualbool: True when the two lsst.pex.config.Config instances are equal. False if there is an inequality.

See also

lsst.pex.config.compareConfigs

Notes

Unselected targets of RegistryField fields and unselected choices of ConfigChoiceField fields are not considered by this method.

Floating point comparisons are performed by numpy.allclose.

formatHistory(name, **kwargs)¶

Format a configuration field’s history to a human-readable format.

Parameters:

namestr: Name of a Field in this config.
**kwargs: Keyword arguments passed to lsst.pex.config.history.format.

Returns:

historystr: A string containing the formatted history.

See also

lsst.pex.config.history.format

freeze()¶: Make this config, and all subconfigs, read-only.

items()¶

Get configurations as (field name, field value) pairs.

Returns:

itemsItemsView

Iterator of tuples for each configuration. Tuple items are:

Field name.
Field value.

keys()¶

Get field names.

Returns:

namesKeysView: List of lsst.pex.config.Field names.

load(filename, root='config')¶

Modify this config in place by executing the Python code in a configuration file.

Parameters:

filenamestr

Name of the configuration file. A configuration file is Python module.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString
lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString

loadFromStream(stream, root='config', filename=None, extraLocals=None)¶

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided stream.

Parameters:

streamfile-like object, str, bytes, or CodeType

Stream containing configuration override code. If this is a code object, it should be compiled with mode="exec".

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

extraLocalsdict of str to object, optional

Any extra variables to include in local scope when loading.

lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString
lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString

Notes

For backwards compatibility reasons, this method accepts strings, bytes and code objects as well as file-like objects. New code should use loadFromString instead for most of these types.

loadFromString(code, root='config', filename=None, extraLocals=None)¶

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided string.

Parameters:

codestr, bytes, or CodeType

Stream containing configuration override code.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

extraLocalsdict of str to object, optional

Any extra variables to include in local scope when loading.

Raises:

ValueError: Raised if a key in extraLocals is the same value as the value of the root argument.

classmethod make_field(doc='Configuration for how to generate catalog IDs from data IDs.')¶

Return a config field that holds an instance of this class.

Parameters:

docstr, optional: Documentation for the config field. As this configuration almost always plays the same role in any parent config, the default is usually fine.

Returns:

fieldlsst.pex.config.ConfigField: New config field for instances of this class.

Notes

This method is provided as a convenience to reduce boilerplate downstream: it typically saves an import or two, and it allows the same usually-appropriate docstring to be reused instead of rewritten each time. It does not need to be used in order to use this config class.

names()¶

Get all the field names in the config, recursively.

Returns:

nameslist of str: Field names.

save(filename, root='config')¶

Save a Python script to the named file, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:

filenamestr: Desination filename of this configuration.
rootstr, optional: Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

saveToStream(outfile, root='config', skipImports=False)¶

Save a configuration file to a stream, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:

outfilefile-like object: Destination file object write the config into. Accepts strings not bytes.
rootstr, optional: Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).
skipImportsbool, optional: If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

saveToString(skipImports=False)¶

Return the Python script form of this configuration as an executable string.

Parameters:

skipImportsbool, optional: If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

Returns:

codestr: A code string readable by loadFromString.

lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

setDefaults()¶

Subclass hook for computing defaults.

Notes

Derived Config classes that must compute defaults rather than using the Field instances’s defaults should do so here. To correctly use inherited defaults, implementations of setDefaults must call their base class’s setDefaults.

toDict()¶

Make a dictionary of field names and their values.

Returns:

dict_dict: Dictionary with keys that are Field names. Values are Field values.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Field.toDict

Notes

This method uses the toDict method of individual fields. Subclasses of Field may need to implement a toDict method for this method to work.

update(**kw)¶

Update values of fields specified by the keyword arguments.

Parameters:

**kw: Keywords are configuration field names. Values are configuration field values.

Notes

The __at and __label keyword arguments are special internal keywords. They are used to strip out any internal steps from the history tracebacks of the config. Do not modify these keywords to subvert a Config instance’s history.

Examples

This is a config with three fields:

>>> from lsst.pex.config import Config, Field
>>> class DemoConfig(Config):
...     fieldA = Field(doc='Field A', dtype=int, default=42)
...     fieldB = Field(doc='Field B', dtype=bool, default=True)
...     fieldC = Field(doc='Field C', dtype=str, default='Hello world')
...
>>> config = DemoConfig()

These are the default values of each field:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 42
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Hello world'

Using this method to update fieldA and fieldC:

>>> config.update(fieldA=13, fieldC='Updated!')

Now the values of each field are:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 13
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Updated!'

validate()¶

Validate the Config, raising an exception if invalid.

Raises:

lsst.pex.config.FieldValidationError: Raised if verification fails.

Notes

The base class implementation performs type checks on all fields by calling their validate methods.

Complex single-field validation can be defined by deriving new Field types. For convenience, some derived lsst.pex.config.Field-types (ConfigField and ConfigChoiceField) are defined in lsst.pex.config that handle recursing into subconfigs.

Inter-field relationships should only be checked in derived Config classes after calling this method, and base validation is complete.

values()¶

Get field values.

Returns:

valuesValuesView: Iterator of field values.
