nsrdb.file_handlers.resource.Resource

class Resource(h5_file, unscale=True, str_decode=True, group=None, hsds=False, hsds_kwargs=None)[source]

Bases: Resource

Base class to handle NSRDB .h5 files with handling of legacy NSRDB scale factors

Parameters:

h5_file (str) – Path to .h5 resource file
unscale (bool, optional) – Boolean flag to automatically unscale variables on extraction, by default True
str_decode (bool, optional) – Boolean flag to decode the bytestring meta data into normal strings. Setting this to False will speed up the meta data read, by default True
group (str, optional) – Group within .h5 resource file to open, by default None
hsds (bool, optional) – Boolean flag to use h5pyd to handle .h5 ‘files’ hosted on AWS behind HSDS, by default False
hsds_kwargs (dict, optional) – Dictionary of optional kwargs for h5pyd, e.g., bucket, username, password, by default None
