An interface to map releases? #71

Open msyriac opened 4 years ago

msyriac commented 4 years ago

Perhaps we should have an interface that removes the need for users to think about folder paths for releases: e.g something like

mapsims.load_release(version='201906_highres_foregrounds_extragalactic_tophat',nside=512, content="combined", num=0, telescope=channel.telescope.lower(), band=channel.band)

which would recognize the system (e.g. NERSC) and load the maps appropriately.

this would be a functionality that I would not use. So I think it is important only if we have at least one outside person that finds this feature useful and is willing to first test it and then integrate in their pipeline. That would justify the effort developing and maintaining this.
