obspy.core.event.base.CompositeTime

class CompositeTime(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: obspy.core.event.base.__CompositeTime

Focal times differ significantly in their precision. While focal times of instrumentally located earthquakes are estimated precisely down to seconds, historic events have only incomplete time descriptions. Sometimes, even contradictory information about the rupture time exist. The CompositeTime type allows for such complex descriptions. If the specification is given with no greater accuracy than days (i.e., no time components are given), the date refers to local time. However, if time components are given, they have to refer to UTC.

Parameters
  • year (int) – Year or range of years of the event’s focal time.

  • year_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

  • month (int) – Month or range of months of the event’s focal time.

  • month_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

  • day (int) – Day or range of days of the event’s focal time.

  • day_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

  • hour (int) – Hour or range of hours of the event’s focal time.

  • hour_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

  • minute (int) – Minute or range of minutes of the event’s focal time.

  • minute_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

  • second (float) – Second and fraction of seconds or range of seconds with fraction of the event’s focal time.

  • second_errors (QuantityError) – AttribDict containing error quantities.

>>> print(CompositeTime(2011, 1, 1))
CompositeTime(year=2011, month=1, day=1)
>>> # Can also be instantiated with the uncertainties.
>>> print(CompositeTime(year=2011, year_errors={"uncertainty":1}))
CompositeTime(year=2011 [uncertainty=1])

pop

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem

as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

setdefault

update

If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

values

Private Methods

Warning

Private methods are mainly for internal/developer use and their API might change without notice.

_pretty_str

Return better readable string representation of AttribDict object.

_repr_pretty_

Special Methods

__bool__

__contains__

__deepcopy__

__delattr__

__delitem__

__dir__

Default dir() implementation.

__eq__

Two instances are considered equal if all attributes and all lists are identical.

__format__

Default object formatter.

__getattr__

Py3k hasattr() expects an AttributeError no KeyError to be raised if the attribute is not found.

__getitem__

__getstate__

__init__

__init_subclass__

This method is called when a class is subclassed.

__iter__

__nonzero__

__reduce__

Helper for pickle.

__reduce_ex__

Helper for pickle.

__repr__

__setattr__

Custom property implementation that works if the class is inheriting from AttribDict.

__setitem__

__setstate__

__sizeof__

Size of object in memory, in bytes.

__str__

Fairly extensive in an attempt to cover several use cases.

__subclasshook__

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().
