StorageClassFactory

class lsst.daf.butler.StorageClassFactory(config=None)

Bases: object

Factory for StorageClass instances.

This class is a singleton, with each instance sharing the pool of StorageClasses. Since code can not know whether it is the first time the instance has been created, the constructor takes no arguments. To populate the factory with storage classes, a call to addFromConfig() should be made.

Parameters:

config : StorageClassConfig or str, optional

Load configuration. In a ButlerConfig` the relevant configuration is located in the storageClasses section.

Methods Summary

addFromConfig(config)	Add more StorageClass definitions from a config file.
getStorageClass(storageClassName)	Get a StorageClass instance associated with the supplied name.
makeNewStorageClass(name[, baseClass])	Create a new Python class as a subclass of StorageClass.
registerStorageClass(storageClass)	Store the StorageClass in the factory.
