ska_pst.testutils.common

Module that includes common code for SKA PST Python code.

ska_pst.testutils.common.convert_value_to_quantity(value: str) → Union[str, astropy.units.Quantity, Tuple[astropy.units.Quantity, astropy.units.Quantity]]

Convert a value string to a quantity.

This tries to use the astropy.units package to see if it can convert it to a quantity. If the value starts with a number then it is expected to be a quantity (value with optional unit). If it isn’t a number the string value is returned.

This is method should be extended to handled the edge cases that may arise in the future.
