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:

filename : str

Name of the file to read.

tablename : str

The name of the table to read from the file.
Returns:

Table

The table read from the file.
Raises:

:exc:`PydlutilsException`

If tablename is not set.

:exc:`KeyError`

If tablename does not exist in the file.
