lsst.pipe.base

The lsst.pipe.base module provides base classes for the task framework. Tasks package the algorithmic units of the LSST Science Pipelines. You can create, configure, and run tasks with their Python APIs. Some tasks, called pipeline tasks, can be packaged into data processing pipelines that you can run from the command line.

Contributing

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

Python API reference

lsst.pipe.base Package

Functions

buildExecutionButler(butler, graph, …) buildExecutionButler is a function that is responsible for exporting input QuantumGraphs into a new minimal Butler which only contains datasets specified by the QuantumGraph.
iterConnections(connections, connectionType, …) Creates an iterator over the selected connections type which yields all the defined connections of that type.
logInfo(obj, prefix[, logLevel, metadata, …]) Log timer information to obj.metadata and obj.log.
timeMethod(*args, **kwargs) Decorator to measure duration of a method.

Classes

AdjustQuantumHelper(inputs, …) Helper class for calling PipelineTaskConnections.adjustQuantum.
ButlerQuantumContext(*, limited, quantum, …) A Butler-like class specialized for a single quantum.
DeferredDatasetRef(datasetRef) A wrapper class for DatasetRef that indicates that a PipelineTask should receive a DeferredDatasetHandle instead of an in-memory dataset.
GraphBuilder(registry, skipExistingIn, …) GraphBuilder class is responsible for building task execution graph from a Pipeline.
InMemoryDatasetHandle(inMemoryDataset, …) An in-memory version of a DeferredDatasetHandle.
IncompatibleGraphError Exception class to indicate that a lookup by NodeId is impossible due to incompatibilities
InputQuantizedConnection(**kwargs)
Instrument(collection_prefix, None] = None) Base class for instrument-specific logic for the Gen3 Butler.
InvalidQuantumError Exception that may be raised by PipelineTasks (and code they delegate to) in order to indicate logic bug or configuration problem.
LabelSpecifier(labels, None] = None, begin, …) A structure to specify a subset of labels to load
NoWorkFound An exception raised when a Quantum should not exist because there is no work for it to do.
NodeId(number, buildId) Deprecated, this class is used with QuantumGraph save formats of 1 and 2 when unpicking objects and must be retained until those formats are considered unloadable.
OutputQuantizedConnection(**kwargs)
Pipeline(description) A Pipeline is a representation of a series of tasks to run, and the configuration for those tasks.
PipelineDatasetTypes(initInputs, …) An immutable struct that classifies the dataset types used in a Pipeline.
PipelineTask(*, config, log, …) Base class for all pipeline tasks.
PipelineTaskConfig Configuration class for PipelineTask
PipelineTaskConnections(*, config) PipelineTaskConnections is a class used to declare desired IO when a PipelineTask is run by an activator
QuantumGraph(quanta, …) QuantumGraph is a directed acyclic graph of QuantumNode objects
QuantumNode(quantum, taskDef, nodeId) This class represents a node in the quantum graph.
RepeatableQuantumError Exception that may be raised by PipelineTasks (and code they delegate to) in order to indicate that a repeatable problem that will not be addressed by retries.
ResourceConfig Configuration for resource requirements.
ScalarError Exception raised when dataset type is configured as scalar but there are multiple data IDs in a Quantum for that dataset.
Struct(**keyArgs) A container to which you can add fields as attributes.
Task(config, name, parentTask, log, …) Base class for data processing tasks.
TaskDatasetTypes(initInputs, initOutputs, …) An immutable struct that extracts and classifies the dataset types used by a PipelineTask
TaskDef(taskName, None] = None, config, …) TaskDef is a collection of information about task needed by Pipeline.
TaskError Use to report errors for which a traceback is not useful.
TaskFactory Abstract base class for task factory.
TaskMetadata Dict-like object for storing task metadata.
