Package gavo :: Package formats :: Module texttable

Module texttable

Writing data as plain text.

Currently, we only do TSV. It would probably be nice to support "formatted ASCII as well, though that may be a bit tricky given that we do not really store sane formatting hints for most columns.

Functions

source code

humanTimesFactory(colDesc)

source code

jdMapperFactory(colDesc)
maps JD, MJD, unix timestamp, and julian year columns to human-readable datetimes.

renderAsColumns(table, target, acquireSamples=False)
writes a fixed-column representation of table to target.

source code

renderAsText(table, target, acquireSamples=True)

Function Details

jdMapperFactory(colDesc)

source code

maps JD, MJD, unix timestamp, and julian year columns to human-readable datetimes.

MJDs are caught by inspecting the UCD or the name.

readTSV(inFile)

source code

returns a list of tuples for a tab-separated-values file.

Lines starting with # and lines containing only whitespace are ignored. Whitespace at front and back is stripped.

No checks are done at this point, i.e., the tuples could be of varying lengths.

Value:

<gavo.utils.serializers.ValueMapperFactoryRegistry object>
