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 command-line tasks, are also 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.

LabelSpecifier(labels, begin, end) A structure to specify a subset of labels to load
LegacyTaskRunner(TaskClass, parsedCmd[, …]) A TaskRunner for CmdLineTasks which calls the Task’s run method on a dataRef rather than the runDataRef method.

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, config[, taskClass, label]) 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.
TaskLogAdapter(logger, extra) A special logging adapter to provide log features for Task.
TaskRunner(TaskClass, parsedCmd[, …]) Run a command-line task, using multiprocessing if requested.
