Python API reference
====================

.. There are two reasons for the :skip: parameters below.
   - Objects which are imported with lsst.meas.base but aren't actually part
     of it --- e.g. lsst.meas.base.Calib is actually lsst.afw.image.calib.Calib
     --- cause the Sphinx build to fail when executed standalone.
   - SingleFrameFromGenericPlugin and ForcedFromGenericPlugin cause the
     construction of an inheritance diagram to fail, per DM-15461.
     Unfortunately, including them here causes a warning, but that seems to be
     unavoidable.
