read_table_yanny¶

pydl.pydlutils.yanny.read_table_yanny(filename, tablename=None)[source]¶

Read a yanny file into a Table.

Because yanny files can contain multiple tables, it is necessary to specify the table name to return. However, all “headers” (keyword-value pairs) will be included in the Table metadata.

This function is for use with register_reader().

Parameters:

filenamestr: Name of the file to read.
tablenamestr: The name of the table to read from the file.

Returns:

Table: The table read from the file.

Raises:

PydlutilsException: If tablename is not set.
KeyError: If tablename does not exist in the file.
