Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() → None

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

getFullMetadata() → TaskMetadata

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:

metadataTaskMetadata

The 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() → str

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

Returns:

fullNamestr

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() → str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:

taskNamestr

Name of the task.

getFullName

getTaskDict() → Dict[str, ReferenceType[Task]]

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:

taskDictdict

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

classmethod makeField(doc: str) → ConfigurableField

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

Parameters:

docstr

Help text for the field.

Returns:

configurableFieldlsst.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("brief description of task")

makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) → None

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

Parameters:

namestr

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 ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

run(**kwargs)

Run the MetricTask on in-memory data.

Parameters:

**kwargs

Keyword arguments matching the inputs given in the class config; see lsst.pipe.base.PipelineTask.run for more details.

Returns:

structlsst.pipe.base.Struct

A Struct containing at least the following component:

• measurement: the value of the metric (lsst.verify.Measurement or None). This method is not responsible for adding mandatory metadata (e.g., the data ID); this is handled by the caller. None may be used to indicate that a metric is undefined or irrelevant instead of raising NoWorkFound.

Raises:

lsst.verify.tasks.MetricComputationError

Raised if an algorithmic or system error prevents calculation of the metric. Examples include corrupted input data or unavoidable exceptions raised by analysis code. The MetricComputationError should be chained to a more specific exception describing the root cause.

Not having enough data for a metric to be applicable is not an error, and should raise NoWorkFound (see below) instead of this exception.

lsst.pipe.base.NoWorkFound

Raised if the metric is ill-defined or otherwise inapplicable to the data. Typically this means that the pipeline step or option being measured was not run.

runQuantum(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)

Do Butler I/O to provide in-memory objects for run.

This specialization of runQuantum performs error-handling specific to MetricTasks.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) → Iterator[None]

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

Parameters:

namestr

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

logLevel

A logging level constant.

Examples

Creating a timer context:

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