how to choose Source Extractor option when running client.py

[Rhiannon Hicks]

Hello,

I have successfully been running the client.py script for my images. However, I was wondering how to tell it to use SExtractor when running the client.py script? On the web version there is the simple tick box of course, but on the help menu for the client.py script I didn't see any matching options.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yeah, it looks like we just didn't add that option to the client.py script -- probably just an oversight.

It looks like the server side is expecting the key "use_sextractor"

https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/main/net/api.py#L175

(yes, I hate that name)

So I think one could add it to the client.py script by looking at one of the other boolean options, for example "invert", and adding the same thing for "use_sextractor".

Would you be willing and able to make that change and send a Pull Request?  (If not, I can do it.)

cheers,

dustin

Hi Dustin,

Gotcha. I attempted to update the client.py script as you said, but it is still not working for me. I'm pretty new to this code, so it might be better if you could update it. 

Thank you for your help!

Okay -- I just added it --   client.py --use-source-extractor

cheers,
