…or the observation Python module. The classname() method returns in a human readable format the class name. This method is needed for full automatic typecasting in Python. Full automatic typecasting has for the moment been implemented for the observation module.

Automatic type casting was implemented in the GObservations.i interface using the runtime type casting information that is maintained by the SWIG interface. The function relies on a newly introduced type() method in GObservation that provides as a string the class type. The former GCTAObservation type casting constructor has been removed as it now should be obsolete.

The CTA response was refactored. GCTAResponse was renamed GCTAResponseIrf, and GCTAResponse became an abstract base class for all possible CTA response functions. GCTAResponseIrf derives from GCTAResponse. Also GCTAResponseCube derives from GCTAResponse. To make this work, the GObservation::response() method now returns a pointer instead of a reference. The interface definition is such that the pointer never can be NULL. The code has been adapted to comply to this new interface. Upon reading an XML file, GCTAObservation now determines the appropriate reponse type and calls its reader. If no response is specified in the XML file, GCTAResponseIrf will be used by default.

GMWLDatum energy_err(), flux(), and flux_err() methods now return const references. GMWLObservation filename(), extno() and extname() methods now return const references. GMWLSpectrum telescope() and instrument() methods now return const references.
-
The abstract pointing class has been removed as so far no abstract pointing interface is needed.
-
GEvents GEventList The clobber argument of the save() method is now passed as const reference. GEventCube The clobber argument of the save() method and the axis argument of the naxis() method are now passed as const references.

On Python 3, gammalib has to be prepented to the %import directives to allow proper loading of the modules. On Python 2 this seems to have no impact. Note that a side effect of the actual module scheme is that gammalib is imported nested.
