Attributes Documentation

dataId

DataId associated with this formatter (DataCoordinate)

extension = '.json'

fileDescriptor

FileDescriptor associated with this formatter (FileDescriptor, read-only)

unsupportedParameters = None

This formatter does not support any parameters (frozenset)

Methods Documentation

fromBytes(serializedDataset, component=None)

Reads serialized data into a Dataset or its component.

Parameters:

serializedDataset : bytes

Bytes object to unserialize.

fileDescriptor : FileDescriptor

Identifies read type and parameters to be used for reading.

component : str, optional

Component to read from the Dataset. Only used if the StorageClass for reading differed from the StorageClass used to write the file.

Returns:

inMemoryDataset : object

The requested data as a Python object. The type of object is controlled by the specific formatter.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Formatter does not support reading from bytes.

classmethod makeUpdatedLocation(location: lsst.daf.butler.core.location.Location) → lsst.daf.butler.core.location.Location

Return a new Location instance updated with this formatter’s extension.

Parameters:

location : Location

The location to update.

Returns:

updated : Location

The updated location with a new file extension applied.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Raised if there is no extension attribute associated with this formatter.

classmethod name() → str

Returns the fully qualified name of the formatter.

Returns:

name : str

Fully-qualified name of formatter class.

predictPath() → str

Return the path that would be returned by write, without actually writing.

Uses the FileDescriptor associated with the instance.

Returns:

path : str

Path within datastore that would be associated with the location stored in this Formatter.

classmethod predictPathFromLocation(location: lsst.daf.butler.core.location.Location) → str

Return the path that would be returned by write, without actually writing.

Parameters:

location : Location

Location of file for which path prediction is required.

Returns:

path : str

Path within datastore that would be associated with this location.

read(component=None)

Read data from a file.

Parameters:

fileDescriptor : FileDescriptor

Identifies the file to read, type to read it into and parameters to be used for reading.

component : str, optional

Component to read from the file. Only used if the StorageClass for reading differed from the StorageClass used to write the file.

Returns:

inMemoryDataset : object

The requested data as a Python object. The type of object is controlled by the specific formatter.

Raises:

ValueError

Component requested but this file does not seem to be a concrete composite.

NotImplementedError

Formatter does not implement a method to read from files.

segregateParameters(parameters: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) → Tuple[Dict[KT, VT], Dict[KT, VT]]

Segregate the supplied parameters into those understood by the formatter and those not understood by the formatter.

Any unsupported parameters are assumed to be usable by associated assemblers.

Parameters:

parameters : dict, optional

Parameters with values that have been supplied by the caller and which might be relevant for the formatter. If None parameters will be read from the registered FileDescriptor.

Returns:

supported : dict

Those parameters supported by this formatter.

unsupported : dict

Those parameters not supported by this formatter.

toBytes(inMemoryDataset)

Serialize the Dataset to bytes based on formatter.

Parameters:

inMemoryDataset : object

Object to serialize.

fileDescriptor : FileDescriptor

Identifies read type and parameters to be used for reading.

Returns:

serializedDataset : bytes

Bytes representing the serialized dataset.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Formatter does not support reading from bytes.

write(inMemoryDataset)

Write a Python object to a file.

Parameters:

inMemoryDataset : object

The Python object to store.

Returns:

path : str

The path where the primary file is stored within the datastore.
