Module irafglobals

source code

module irafglobals.py -- widely used IRAF constants and objects

yes, no         Boolean values
IrafError       Standard IRAF exception
Verbose         Flag indicating verbosity level
pyrafDir        Directory with these Pyraf programs
userIrafHome    User's IRAF home directory (./ or ~/iraf/)
userWorkingHome User's working home directory (the directory
                when this module gets imported.)
EOF             End-of-file indicator object
INDEF           Undefined object
IrafTask        "Tag" class for IrafTask type.
IrafPkg         "Tag" class for IrafPkg type

This is defined so it is safe to say 'from irafglobals import *'

The tag classes do nothing except allow checks of types via (e.g.)
isinstance(o,IrafTask).  Including it here decouples the other classes
from the module that actually implements IrafTask, greatly reducing the
need for mutual imports of modules by one another.
