lsst.pipe.tasks

lsst.pipe.tasks provides many of the Task classes that drive the LSST Science Pipelines. The command-line tasks listed here are useful data processing entry points for most users. You can also assemble your own pipelines by combining individual tasks through their Python APIs.

lsst.pipe.tasks does not provide all the tasks and command-line tasks in the LSST Science Pipelines. For a complete overview of the available tasks, see the Processing Data documentation section (to be completed). To learn more about the task framework in general, see the lsst.pipe.base module documentation.

lsst.pipe.tasks is developed at https://github.com/lsst/pipe_tasks. You can find Jira issues for this module under the pipe_tasks component.
