__ilwdchar(self, istr)

source code

If the ilwd:char field contains octal data, it is translated to a binary string and returned. Otherwise a lookup is done in the unique id dictionary and a binary string containing the correct unique id is returned.

__lstring(self, lstr)

source code

Returns a parsed lstring by stripping out and instances of the escaped delimiter. Sometimes the raw lstring has whitespace and a double quote at the beginning or end. If present, these are removed.

parsetuple(self, xmltuple)

source code

Parse an XML tuple returned by pyRXP into a dictionary of LIGO metadata elements. The dictionary contains one entry for each table found in the XML tuple.
