databroker.Broker.named

classmethod Broker.named(name, auto_register=True)

Create a new Broker instance using a configuration file with this name.

Configuration file search path:

• ~/.config/databroker/{name}.yml

• {python}/../etc/databroker/{name}.yml

• /etc/databroker/{name}.yml

where {python} is the location of the current Python binary, as reported by sys.executable. It will use the first match it finds.

Special Case: The name 'temp' creates a new, temporary configuration. Subsequent calls to Broker.named('temp') will create separate configurations. Any data saved using this temporary configuration will not be accessible once the Broker instance has been deleted.

Parameters

namestring

auto_registerboolean, optional

By default, automatically register built-in asset handlers (classes that handle I/O for externally stored data). Set this to False to do all registration manually.

Returns

dbBroker
