constructRunList

lsst.validate.drp.util.constructRunList(visits, ccds, ccdKeyName='ccd')

Construct a comprehensive runList for processCcd.py.

Parameters

visitslist of int

The desired visits.

ccdslist of int

The desired ccds.

Returns

list

list of strings suitable to be used with the LSST Butler.

Notes

The LSST parsing convention is to use ‘^’ as list separators for arguments to --id. While surprising, this convention allows for CCD names to include ‘,’. E.g., ‘R1,2’. Currently ignores filter because visit should be unique w.r.t filter.

Examples

>>> runList = constructRunList([100, 200], [10, 11, 12])
>>> print(runList)
['--id visit=100 ccd=10^11^12', '--id visit=200 ccd=10^11^12']
>>> runList = constructRunList([100, 200], [10, 11, 12], ccdKeyName='ccdnum')
>>> print(runList)
['--id visit=100 ccdnum=10^11^12', '--id visit=200 ccdnum=10^11^12']
