init_fromDict

lsst.pipe.tasks.functors.init_fromDict(initDict, basePath='lsst.pipe.tasks.functors', typeKey='functor', name=None)

Initialize an object defined in a dictionary.

The object needs to be importable as f’{basePath}.{initDict[typeKey]}’. The positional and keyword arguments (if any) are contained in “args” and “kwargs” entries in the dictionary, respectively. This is used in from_yaml to initialize a composite functor from a specification in a YAML file.

Parameters:

initDictdictionary

Dictionary describing object’s initialization. Must contain an entry keyed by typeKey that is the name of the object, relative to basePath.

basePathstr

Path relative to module in which initDict[typeKey] is defined.

typeKeystr

Key of initDict that is the name of the object (relative to basePath).
