dfitspy as a Python Module

dfitspy can be also used as a third party module in one of your own code. You can import it the usual way:

In [1]: import dfitspy

dfitspy contains a few functions that I detail below:

get_all_keyword
get_files
get_keys
keywords_view
keywords_in_file
dfitsort
dfitsort_view
test
version

1 - Get your files ready

dfitspy can be easily use to dfits|fitsio a set of files. First of all you must prepare a list of files. You can do it using your favorite python package. Or you can use the get_files function of dfitspy:

In [1]: import dfitspy

In [2]: help(dfitspy.get_files)  <---this print the help of the function

get_files(files, dire=False)
This function extracts the list of files based on the files
and dire parameters.

example: get_files(['fil1.fits,file2.fits'] , '/home/Documents')
example: get_files(['fil1.fits,file2.fits'])


Parameter
---------
files
            list of str, list of files names (without path)
                         it can be ['file1.fits,file2.fits,....']
                                   ['file1.fits']
                                   ['file1,fits', 'file2.fits']
                                   ['all']
dire
            str, path of the directory to look in

Return
------
list of files

This function takes two arguments. The first is the file argument and must be a LIST of strings. It will return a list of files. Only fits files will be returned.

The easiest way is to analyse all the files in the current directory:

In [3]: listfiles = dfitspy.get_files(['all'])
    ['/home/romain/Documents/tests/dfitspy/XSHOOTER.2014-06-19T05:40:13.194.fits',

     '/home/romain/Documents/tests/dfitspy/XSHOOTER.2014-06-19T05:25:19.503.fits']

You would get the same results using:

In [4]: listfiles = get_files(['all'],dire='../Test_data/')

2 - Get your keywords ready

After preparing the files you must prepare the keywords you want to fitsort your files with. The correct format is a list of strings, each string being a keyword, example:

listkeys = ['HIERARCH ESO OBS ID', 'EXPTIME']

If you do not remember the name of the keywords you want to use you can retrieve them all and display them:

In [5]: help(dfitspy.get_all_keyword)

    get_all_keyword(thefile, HDU=0)
        This function gets all the keyword in the header of the file

        Parameters
        ----------
        thefile     str
                    path/and/file.txt
        HDU         int
                    FITS extension number to get the keywords from

        Returns
        -------
        keywords    list
                    list of keywords (string)

This function takes a file as input and return the list of all the keywords:

In [6]: keys = dfitspy.get_all_keyword('XSHOOTER.2014-06-19T05:10:40.714.fits')
In [7]: keys

    ['SIMPLE',
     'BITPIX',
     'NAXIS',
     'EXTEND',
     'HIERARCH ESO INS MODE',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS PROG ID',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS ID',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS TARG NAME',
     'DATE-OBS',
     'MJD-OBS',
     'EXPTIME',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS AIRM',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS AMBI FWHM',
     'HIERARCH ESO OBS AMBI TRANS',
     'HIERARCH ESO TPL EXPNO',
     'HIERARCH ESO TPL NEXP',
     'HIERARCH ESO TEL AIRM START',
     'HIERARCH ESO TEL AIRM END',
     'HIERARCH ESO TEL AMBI FWHM START',
     'HIERARCH ESO TEL AMBI FWHM END',
     'HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG'
     .
     .
     .(cut for display convinience)]

If you have a very long list you can display it using the keywords_view function, which will cut the length by three:

In [8] : dfitspy.keywords_view(keys)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIMPLE                            | BITPIX                            | NAXIS
EXTEND                            | HIERARCH ESO INS MODE             | HIERARCH ESO OBS PROG ID

.                                 | .                                 | .

(it has been cut)

It is important to note that you can also search in the header of different extension. For example accessing the extension number 1 (default is 0, the primary header):

In [37]: dfitspy.get_all_keyword('../lcogtdata-2022-1/tfn0m410-kb98-20100-x00.fits.fz', HDU=1)
Out[37]:
    ['SIMPLE',
     'BITPIX',
     'NAXIS',
     'NAXIS1',
     'NAXIS2',
     'PCOUNT',
     'GCOUNT',
     'XTENSION',
     'BZERO',
     'BSCALE',
     'DATADICV',
     'HDRVER',
     'ORIGIN',
     'SITEID',

3 - Fitsort your files

At this point you are ready to fitsort all files. In order to achieve that you have to use the get_all_values function:

In [9]: help(dfitspy.dfitsort)

    dfitsort(listfiles, listkeys, exact=False, grepping=None, HDU=0)
        This function get for all files, the value of all the keywords that are passed


        Parameters
        ----------
        listfiles : lisr
                    list, with file names (string, path included)
        listkeys :  list
                    list, of keywords (strings)
        grep : list
                    list of string, if not false, the grepping valueS
                    will be compared to all the values
                    of the keywords. If all grepping values appear in the
                    header of one file the file will be kept
        exact   : bool
                  if the exact keyword from the user must be retrieved. If not,
                  any keyword containing the requested keyword will be used.
        HDU     : int
                  extension number to look in. Default is primary: 0

        Returns
        -------
        file_dict : dictionary
                    dictionary, keys=filename & values=dictionnary of keyword-value pairs

        Examples
        --------
        dfitsort([file1, file2], [key1, key2]) <-- no grep

        dfitsort([file1, file2], [key1, key2], ['match', 'match2']) <-- multi grep

This function takes as argument the list of files and the list of parameters and returns a dictionary of files with values of all the keywords required:

In [10]: fitsort = dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, listkeys)

In [11]: fitsort

    {'XSHOOTER.2014-06-19T05:40:13.194.fits': {'HIERARCH ESO OBS START': '2014-06-19T05:34:44',

you can display everything in a nice way using the dfitsort_view function:

It is important to understand the following things to fully understand the output of dfitspy:

  • By default, dfitspy will look for all the header keywords that contain the one you gave with the ‘-k’ argument .Using the file in the previous example, if I want the keyword NAXIS, dfitspy will retrieve ALL the following keywords: NAXIS, NAXIS1 and NAXIS2:

    In [10]: fitsort = dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, ['HIERARCH ESO OBS START', 'NAXIS'])
    In [11]: dfitspy.dfitsort_view(fitsort)
                  filename                      HIERARCH ESO OBS START  NAXIS   NAXIS1  NAXIS2

This has been implemented so you can ‘search’ for keywords without knowing their exact names. If you happen to know the exact name of the keyword and you don’t want the other ones, you can use the boolean argument ‘exact’ and you will have only the keywords matching exactly the ones you asked for:

In [12]: fitsort = dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, ['HIERARCH ESO OBS START', 'NAXIS'], exact=True)
In [13]: dfitspy.dfitsort_view(fitsort)
                  filename                  HIERARCH ESO OBS START  NAXIS

You would have exaclty the same results with ‘dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, [‘ESO OBS ID’, ‘ESO OBS START’])’

  • As before, you can look in the header of different extension, simply adding the argument ‘HDU=’+number of the extension you want.

4 - Grepping

The next option allows you to grep files that have a certain value in their keywords. By default it is set to None but you can give a grepping value (in a list) to replace it. When doing so dfitspy will look at all the files you give in listfiles and in all the keywords you give in listkeys. If all the grepping values are inside the keyword values the file will be kept, if not the file will be rejected. For example here we want all the files for which HIERARCH ESO OBS ID = 439120439

In [18]: fitsortgrep = dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, ['ESO OBS ID', 'SEQ ARM'],
                                        grepping=['1072985'])
In [19]: dfitspy.dfitsort_view(fitsortgrep)
                  filename                  ESO SEQ ARM     HIERARCH ESO OBS ID
    -------------------------------------   -----------     -------------------

    XSHOOTER.2014-06-19T05:25:19.503.fits       NIR               1072985

We can also multi-grep. For example if you want to keep only ESO SEQ ARM = NIR then we must add a grepping value

In [20]: fitsortgrep = dfitspy.dfitsort(listfiles, ['ESO OBS ID', 'SEQ ARM'],
                                        grepping=['1072985', 'NIR'])
In [21]: dfitspy.dfitsort_view(fitsortgrep)
                  filename                  ESO SEQ ARM     HIERARCH ESO OBS ID
