SimplePipelineExecutor

class lsst.ctrl.mpexec.SimplePipelineExecutor(quantum_graph: QuantumGraph, butler: Butler, resources: ExecutionResources | None = None, raise_on_partial_outputs: bool = True)

Bases: object

A simple, high-level executor for pipelines.

Parameters:

quantum_graphQuantumGraph

Graph to be executed.

butlerButler

Object that manages all I/O. Must be initialized with collections and run properties that correspond to the input and output collections, which must be consistent with those used to create quantum_graph.

resourcesExecutionResources

The resources available to each quantum being executed.

raise_on_partial_outputsbool, optional

If True raise exceptions chained by lsst.pipe.base.AnnotatedPartialOutputError immediately, instead of considering the partial result a success and continuing to run downstream tasks.

Notes

Most callers should use one of the classmethod factory functions (from_pipeline_filename, from_task_class, from_pipeline) instead of invoking the constructor directly; these guarantee that the Butler and QuantumGraph are created consistently.

This class is intended primarily to support unit testing and small-scale integration testing of PipelineTask classes. It deliberately lacks many features present in the command-line-only pipetask tool in order to keep the implementation simple. Python callers that need more sophistication should call lower-level tools like QuantumGraphBuilder, PreExecInit, and SingleQuantumExecutor directly.

Methods Documentation

as_generator(register_dataset_types: bool = False, save_versions: bool = True) → Iterator[Quantum]

Yield quanta in the QuantumGraph in topological order.

These quanta will be run as the returned generator is iterated over. Use this method to run the quanta one at a time. Use run to run all quanta in the graph.

Parameters:

register_dataset_typesbool, optional

If True, register all output dataset types before executing any quanta.

save_versionsbool, optional

If True (default), save a package versions dataset.

Returns:

quantaIterator [ Quantum ]

Executed quanta.

Notes

Global initialization steps (see PreExecInit) are performed immediately when this method is called, but individual quanta are not actually executed until the returned iterator is iterated over.

A topological ordering is not in general unique, but no other guarantees are made about the order in which quanta are processed.

classmethod from_pipeline(pipeline: Pipeline, *, where: str = '', bind: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, butler: Butler, resources: ExecutionResources | None = None, raise_on_partial_outputs: bool = True) → SimplePipelineExecutor

wherestr, optional

Data ID query expression that constraints the quanta generated.

classmethod from_pipeline_graph(pipeline_graph: PipelineGraph, *, where: str = '', bind: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, butler: Butler, resources: ExecutionResources | None = None, raise_on_partial_outputs: bool = True) → SimplePipelineExecutor

wherestr, optional

Data ID query expression that constraints the quanta generated.

Mapping containing literal values that should be injected into the where expression, keyed by the identifiers they replace.

butlerButler

Butler that manages all I/O. prep_butler can be used to create one. Must have its run and defaults not empty and not None.

Create an executor by building a QuantumGraph from a pipeline containing a single task.

Helper method for creating Butler instances with collections appropriate for processing.

Parameters:
