`tsdat.config.dataset_definition`¶

Classes¶

DatasetDefinition

Wrapper for the dataset_definition portion of the pipeline config

class tsdat.config.dataset_definition.DatasetDefinition(dictionary: Dict, datastream_name: str)[source]¶

Wrapper for the dataset_definition portion of the pipeline config file.

Parameters

dictionary (Dict) – The portion of the config file corresponding with the dataset definition.
datastream_name (str) – The name of the datastream that the config file is for.

Class Methods

`get_attr`	Retrieves the value of the attribute requested, or None if it does
`get_coordinates`	Returns the coordinate VariableDefinition object(s) that dimension
`get_static_variables`	Retrieves a list of static VariableDefinition objects. A variable is
`get_variable`	Attemps to retrieve the requested variable. First searches the data
`get_variable_names`	Retrieves the list of variable names. Note that this excludes

Method Descriptions

get_attr(self, attribute_name) → Any[source]¶

Retrieves the value of the attribute requested, or None if it does not exist.

Parameters: attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute to retrieve.
Returns: The value of the attribute, or None.
Return type: Any

get_coordinates(self, variable: tsdat.config.variable_definition.VariableDefinition) → List[tsdat.config.variable_definition.VariableDefinition][source]¶

Returns the coordinate VariableDefinition object(s) that dimension the requested VariableDefinition.

Parameters: variable (VariableDefinition) – The VariableDefinition whose coordinate variables should be retrieved.
Returns: A list of VariableDefinition coordinate variables that dimension the provided VariableDefinition.
Return type: List[VariableDefinition]

get_static_variables(self) → List[tsdat.config.variable_definition.VariableDefinition][source]¶

Retrieves a list of static VariableDefinition objects. A variable is defined as static if it has a “data” section in the config file, which would mean that the variable’s data is defined statically. For example, in the config file snippet below, “depth” is a static variable:

depth:
  data: [4, 8, 12]
  dims: [depth]
  type: int
  attrs:
    long_name: Depth
    units: m

Returns: The list of static VariableDefinition objects.
Return type: List[VariableDefinition]

get_variable(self, variable_name: str) → tsdat.config.variable_definition.VariableDefinition [source]¶

Attemps to retrieve the requested variable. First searches the data variables, then searches the coordinate variables. Returns None if no data or coordinate variables have been defined with the requested variable name.

Parameters: variable_name (str) – The name of the variable to retrieve.
Returns: Returns the VariableDefinition for the variable, or None if the variable could not be found.
Return type: VariableDefinition

get_variable_names(self) → List[str][source]¶

Retrieves the list of variable names. Note that this excludes coordinate variables.

Returns: The list of variable names.
Return type: List[str]
