Clean up variable names in prairieviewreader.py #79
Description
Feature Request
Problem
The prairieviewreader.py file contains a function to read data from Bruker's PrairieView system for acquiring calcium imaging data. The function parses through an .xml metadata and settings file with the goal of populating DataJoint's ScanInfo table in element-calcium-imaging. The variable names within this function could be adapted to improve readability for contributors and future developers.
Requirements
Variable names should be descriptive and ensure that contributors external to DataJoint are able to contribute changes and bug fixes with ease.
Justification
This feature will ensure future developers and contributors are able to focus on developing the code rather than attempting to understand what is being accomplished by each of the steps in the function.
Alternative Considerations
Use comments to guide the user where changing the variable names doesn't make sense or help improve readability of the code.
