These highlights cover the final 3 days of the LSST 2016 Project and Community Workshop.
Senior management were involved in the Joint Status Review for some of that time.
Accomplishments
- A hack session at LSST 2016 focused on migrating our tests to a form that would make them runnable by
py.test(following the developer guidelines and the instructions in SQR-012). We also took the opportunity to clean up asserts in the test code to use modern idioms. Progress can be tracked on the Confluence page. Test suites modernized this week:pipe_base(DM-7232),meas_astrom(DM-3904),daf_butlerUtils(DM-7230),obs_test(DM-7244),coadd_utils(DM-7258),coadd_chisquared(DM-7261),meas_algorithms(DM-7248),ctrl_provenance(DM-7269),ctrl_events(DM-7252),sphgeom(DM-7315),ip_diffim(DM-7320),meas_extensions_photometryKron(DM-7329),meas_extensions_simpleShape(DM-7332),meas_deblender(DM-7347),pex_policy(DM-7312),meas_extensions_psfex(DM-7343),meas_extensions_shapeHSM(DM-7344). - Significant progress has been made on Python 3 support. Details on current progress can be found on Confluence. Ported to Python 3 this week:
skypix(DM-7249),geom(DM-7243),daf_butlerUtils(DM-7247),shapelet(DM-7256),obs_test(DM-7244),pipe_base(DM-7245),coadd_utils(DM-7258),coadd_chisquared(DM-7261),ctrl_provenance(DM-7269),meas_base(DM-7262),db(DM-7253),cat(DM-7260),display_ds9(DM-7250) - New testing asserts were added to the
utilspackage. (DM-7267)
