Conda environment

To make sure everyone is using the same version of Python, there is an environment.yml that defines the content of a virtual environment called plasticcval.

To create it first, run (only once)

conda env create -f environment.yml

Now everytime you need to use it

source activate plasticcval

You should be running Python 3.6 and everything will be fine.

If you need to leave the environment

source deactivate

validutils

Set of tools for interacting with the supernovae simulations.

Scripts

• serialize_lsst_model.py

  Takes as input a directory containing a run of simulations (e.g. LSST_DDF_MODEL45) and returns a compressed dictionary (LSST_DDF_MODEL45.pkl.gz file) of supernovae data index by their ID.

  Usage:

  python serialize_lsst_model.py <LSST_sim_dir>  # output file in current dir
  python serialize_lsst_model.py <LSST_sim_dir> --destination=<output_dir>      python serialize_lsst_model.py --help  # for help
