run_make_todo.py command line utility

Create the TODO list which is used by the pipeline to keep track of the targets that needs to be processed.

Example

In order to create to TODO list for the directory in the TESSPHOT_INPUT environment variable simply run the program without any further input:

>>> python run_make_todo.py

This will create the file todo.sqlite in the directory defined in the TESSPHOT_INPUT environment variable.

Example

If you want to create the TODO file for a specific directory (ignoring the TESSPHOT_INPUT environment variable), you can simply call the script with the directory you want to process:

>>> python run_make_todo.py /where/ever/you/want/

Note

This program assumes that the directory already contains “catalog” files for the given sector. These can be create using the run_make_catalog() utility.
