BaseConnection

class lsst.pipe.base.connectionTypes.BaseConnection(name: str, storageClass: str, doc: str = '', multiple: bool = False)

Bases: object

Base class used for declaring PipelineTask connections

Parameters:

namestr

The name used to identify the dataset type

storageClassstr

The storage class used when (un)/persisting the dataset type

multiplebool

Indicates if this connection should expect to contain multiple objects of the given dataset type. Tasks with more than one connection with multiple=True with the same dimensions may want to implement PipelineTaskConnections.adjustQuantum to ensure those datasets are consistent (i.e. zip-iterable) in PipelineTask.runQuantum and notify the execution system as early as possible of outputs that will not be produced because the corresponding input is missing.
