class pyhydllp.hyd(ini_path, dll_path, hydllp_filename='hydllp.dll', hyaccess_filename='Hyaccess.ini', hyconfig_filename='HYCONFIG.INI', username='', password='')

Class to initiate the Hydstra connection and access the extraction functions.

Parameters
  • ini_path (str or None) – Path to the Hyaccess.ini file.

  • dll_path (str or None) – Path to the hydllp.dll file.

  • hydllp_filename (str) – The hydllp file name.

  • hyaccess_filename (str) – The hyaccess file name.

  • hyconfig_filename (str) – The hyconfig file name.

  • username (str) – The login username for Hydstra. Leave a blank str to have Hydstra use the local user machine username.

  • password (str) – Same as username, but for password.

Returns

Return type

hyd object

Methods

hyd.get_variable_list(self, sites, data_source='A')

Function to get the variables list for a list of sites.

Parameters
  • sites (list) – A list of site names.

  • data_source (str) – The data source.

Returns

Return type

DataFrame

hyd.get_ts_blockinfo(self, sites, datasources=['A'], variables=['100', '10', '110', '140', '130', '143', '450'], start='1900-01-01', end='2100-01-01', from_mod_date='1900-01-01', to_mod_date='2100-01-01')

Wrapper function to extract info about when data has changed between modification dates.

Parameters
  • sites (list) – Site numbers.

  • datasource (list of str) – Hydstra datasource code (usually [‘A’]).

  • variables (list of int or float) – The hydstra conversion data variable (140.00 is flow).

  • start (str) – The start time in the format of ‘2001-01-01’.

  • end (str) – Same formatting as start.

  • from_mod_date (str) – The starting date of the modification.

  • to_mod_date (str) – The ending date of the modification.

Returns

With site, data_source, varto, from_mod_date, and to_mod_date.

Return type

DataFrame

hyd.ts_data_changes(self, varto, sites, data_source='A', from_mod_date=None, to_mod_date=None)

Function to determine the time series data indexed by sites and variables that have changed between the from_mod_date and to_mod_date. For non-flow rating sites/variables!!!

Parameters
  • varto (list of str) – The hydstra conversion data variable (140.00 is flow).

  • sites (list of str) – List of sites to be returned.

  • data_source (str) – Hydstra datasource code (usually ‘A’).

  • from_mod_date (str) – The starting date when the data has been modified.

  • to_mod_date (str) – The ending date when the data has been modified.

Returns

With site, varfrom, varto, from_date, and to_date

Return type

DataFrame

hyd.get_ts_data(self, sites, start=0, end=0, datasource='A', data_type='mean', varfrom=100, varto=140, qual_codes=None, interval='day', multiplier=1, report_time=None, sites_chunk=20, print_sites=False, export_path=None)

Wrapper function over hydllp to read in data from Hydstra’s database. Must be run in a 32bit python. If either start_time or end_time is not 0, then they both need a date.

Parameters
  • sites (list, array, one column csv file, or dataframe) – Site numbers.

  • start (str or int of 0) – The start time in the format of either ‘2001-01-01’ or 0 (for all data).

  • end (str or int of 0) – Same formatting as start.

  • datasource (str) – Hydstra datasource code (usually ‘A’).

  • data_type (str) – mean, maxmin, max, min, start, end, first, last, tot, point, partialtot, or cum.

  • varfrom (int or float) – The hydstra source data variable (100.00 is water level).

  • varto (int or float) – The hydstra conversion data variable (140.00 is flow).

  • interval (str) – The frequency of the output data (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, period). If data_type is ‘point’, then interval cannot be ‘period’ (use anything else, it doesn’t matter).

  • multiplier (int) – interval frequency.

  • qual_codes (list of int or None) – The quality codes in Hydstra for filtering the data.

  • sites_chunk (int) – Number of sites to request to hydllp at one time. Processing too many sites at a time may exceed the RAM.

  • report_time (start or end) – Specifying the report_time as “end” will cause the time output with aggregated values for mean, total, and partial total data types to be the end of the period instead of the start.

  • print_sites (bool) – print site names as they are extracted.

Returns

In long format with site and time as a MultiIndex.

Return type

DataFrame
