Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata()

Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

expandFiles(fileNameList)

!Expand a set of filenames and globs, returning a list of filenames

@param fileNameList A list of files and glob patterns

N.b. globs obey Posix semantics, so a pattern that matches nothing is returned unchanged

getAllSchemaCatalogs()

Get schema catalogs for all tasks in the hierarchy, combining the results into a single dict.

Returns:
schemacatalogs : dict

Keys are butler dataset type, values are a empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for all tasks in the hierarchy, from the top-level task down through all subtasks.

Notes

This method may be called on any task in the hierarchy; it will return the same answer, regardless.

The default implementation should always suffice. If your subtask uses schemas the override Task.getSchemaCatalogs, not this method.

getFullMetadata()

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

The PropertySet keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc..

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName()

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:
fullName : str

The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example:

  • The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”.
  • The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”.
  • The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.
getName()

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskName : str

Name of the task.

getFullName

getSchemaCatalogs()

Get the schemas generated by this task.

Returns:
schemaCatalogs : dict

Keys are butler dataset type, values are an empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for this task.

Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs

Notes

Warning

Subclasses that use schemas must override this method. The default implemenation returns an empty dict.

This method may be called at any time after the Task is constructed, which means that all task schemas should be computed at construction time, not when data is actually processed. This reflects the philosophy that the schema should not depend on the data.

Returning catalogs rather than just schemas allows us to save e.g. slots for SourceCatalog as well.

getTaskDict()

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:
taskDict : dict

Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc..

ingest(infile, outfile, mode='move', dryrun=False)

Ingest a file into the image repository.

@param infile Name of input file @param outfile Name of output file (file in repository) @param mode Mode of ingest (copy/link/move/skip) @param dryrun Only report what would occur? @param Success boolean

ingestFiles(fileList)

Ingest specified file or list of files and add them to the registry.

This method can only be called if prepareTask was used.

Parameters:
fileList : str or list [str]

Pathname or list of pathnames of files to ingest.

isBadFile(filename, badFileList)

Return whether the file qualifies as bad

We match against the list of bad file patterns.

isBadId(info, badIdList)

Return whether the file information qualifies as bad

We match against the list of bad data identifiers.

classmethod makeField(doc)

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:
doc : str

Help text for the field.

Returns:
configurableField : lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField

A ConfigurableField for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config)
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("a brief description of what this task does")
makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs)

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:
name : str

Brief name of the subtask.

keyArgs

Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden:

  • “config”.
  • “parentTask”.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of pex_config ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

classmethod parseAndRun()

Parse the command-line arguments and run the Task.

classmethod prepareTask(root=None, dryrun=False, mode='move', create=False, ignoreIngested=False)

Prepare for running the task repeatedly with ingestFiles.

Saves the parsed arguments, including the Butler and log, as a private instance variable.

Parameters:
root : str, optional

Repository root pathname. If None, run the Task using the command line arguments, ignoring all other arguments below.

dryrun : bool, optional

If True, don’t perform any action; log what would have happened.

mode : str, optional

How files are delivered to their destination. Default is “move”, unlike the command-line default of “link”.

create : bool, optional

If True, create a new registry, clobbering any old one present.

ignoreIngested : bool, optional

If True, do not complain if the file is already present in the registry (and do nothing else).

Returns:
task : IngestTask

If root was provided, the IngestTask instance

run(args)

Ingest all specified files and add them to the registry

runFile(infile, registry, args, pos)

!Examine and ingest a single file

@param infile: File to process @param registry: Registry into which to insert Butler metadata, or None @param args: Parsed command-line arguments @param pos: Position number of this file in the input list @return parsed information from FITS HDUs if registry is None; or None

timer(name, logLevel=10000)

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:
name : str

Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.

logLevel

A lsst.log level constant.

timer.logInfo

Examples

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time
