TableReader

class ctapipe.io.tableio.TableReader(**kwargs: Any)

Bases: Component

Base class for row-wise table readers. Generally methods that read a full table at once are preferred to this method, since they are faster, but this can be used to re-play a table row by row into a ctapipe.core.Container class (the opposite of TableWriter)

Methods Summary

add_column_transform(table_name, col_name, ...)	Add a transformation function for a column.
close()
open(filename, **kwargs)
read(table_name, containers, prefixes, **kwargs)	Returns a generator that reads the next row from the table into the given container.
