lsst.obs.base

The lsst.obs.base module provides the framework and common API for telescope/camera specific “obs” packages. New cameras will derive from the classes defined here. lsst.obs.base.tests provides the tests that all “obs” packages should pass.

lsst.obs.base is developed at https://github.com/lsst/obs_base. You can find Jira issues for this module under the obs_base component.

Command Line Interface

daf_butler implements a command line interface command called butler. The following subcommands are implemented by this package and available to the butler command when this package is setup.

butler

butler [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

convert

Convert one or more Butler gen 2 repositories into a gen 3 repository.

REPO is the URI or path to the gen3 repository. Will be created if it does not already exist

This is a highly simplified interface that should only be used to convert suites of gen 2 repositories that contain at most one calibration repo and has no chained reruns. Custom scripts that call ConvertRepoTask should be used on more complex suites of repositories.

butler convert [OPTIONS] REPO

Options

--gen2root <gen2root>

Required Root path of the gen 2 repo to be converted.

--skymap-name <skymap_name>

Name of the new gen3 skymap (e.g. ‘discrete/ci_hsc’).

--skymap-config <skymap_config>

Path to skymap config file defining the new gen3 skymap.

--calibs <calibs>

Path to the gen 2 calibration repo. It can be absolute or relative to gen2root.

--reruns <TEXT ...>

List of rerun paths to convert. Output collection names will be guessed, which can fail if the Gen2 repository paths do not follow a recognized convention. In this case, the command-line interface cannot be used.

-t, --transfer <transfer>

Mode to use to transfer files into the new repository.

Options:auto | link | symlink | hardlink | copy | move | relsymlink | direct
-j, --processes <processes>

Number of processes to use.

-C, --config-file <config_file>

Path to a ConvertRepoConfig override to be included after the Instrument config overrides are applied.

-@, --options-file <options_file>

URI to YAML file containing overrides of command line options. The YAML should be organized as a hierarchy with subcommand names at the top level options for that subcommand below.

Arguments

REPO

Required argument

See ‘butler –help’ for more options.

define-visits

Define visits from exposures in the butler registry.

REPO is the URI or path to the gen3 repository. Will be created if it does not already exist

The calibration collection containing the camera geometry can not be specified.

butler define-visits [OPTIONS] REPO INSTRUMENT

Options

-C, --config-file <config_file>

Path to a pex_config override to be included after the Instrument config overrides are applied.

The collections to be searched (in order) when reading datasets.

--where <where>

A string expression similar to a SQL WHERE clause.

Options

--regex <regex>

Regex string used to find files in directories listed in LOCATIONS. Searches for fits files by default.

-c, --config <TEXT=TEXT>

-C, --config-file <config_file>

Path to a pex config override to be included after the Instrument config overrides are applied.

--output-run <output_run>

-t, --transfer <transfer>

The external data transfer mode.

Options:auto | link | symlink | hardlink | copy | move | relsymlink | direct
-j, --processes <processes>

Number of processes to use.

--ingest-task <ingest_task>

The fully qualified class name of the ingest task to use.

--track-file-attrs, --no-track-file-attrs

Indicate to the datastore whether file attributes such as file size or checksum should be tracked or not. Whether this parameter is honored depends on the specific datastore implentation.

--fail-fast

Stop ingest as soon as any problem is encountered with any file. Otherwise problem files will be skipped and logged and a report issued at completion.

-@, --options-file <options_file>

URI to YAML file containing overrides of command line options. The YAML should be organized as a hierarchy with subcommand names at the top level options for that subcommand below.

Arguments

REPO

Required argument

LOCATIONS

Required argument(s)

The name or fully-qualified class name of an instrument.

butler write-curated-calibrations [OPTIONS] REPO INSTRUMENT

Options

--collection <collection>

--label <labels>

Extra strings to include (with automatic delimiters) in all RUN collection names, as well as the calibration collection name if it is not provided via –collection.

-@, --options-file <options_file>

URI to YAML file containing overrides of command line options. The YAML should be organized as a hierarchy with subcommand names at the top level options for that subcommand below.

Arguments
