EUPS packaged version of Mike Jarvis' TreeCorr
https://github.com/rmjarvis/TreeCorr/archive/v3.2.3.tar.gz

- We have specifically pinned to the 3.2.3 version
to avoid the
libffi
,cffi
,pyfits
dependencies introduced in more recent versions. These dependencies make sense forTreeCorr
quaTreeCorr
, but add dependencies to the LSST validate_drp stack that we wish to avoid for now.
- In the future we may update.
libffi
andcffi
should be set up as shim packages, particularly becauselibffi
is available on many systems. Thepyfits
dependency we would have to step around because we do wish to avoid adding a 3rd (4th?) different python FITS interface to the LSST stack. - For more discussion see https://jira.lsstcorp.org/browse/RFC-296
- If performance becomes an issue, we may want to update to more recent TreeCorr. But currently basic I/O from the catalog files dominates any in-memory correlation calculations. Thus until it becomes a performance bottleneck, I judge that the dependency minimization is the better option for the LSST validate_drp stack.
pandas
could be asetupOptional
dependency. If pandas is not present, then reading of ASCII catalogs will be slower. But we don't use that functionality, so I've leftpandas
out as a dependency.
