- pint.observatory.compare_tempo_obsys_dat(tempodir: str | None = None) Dict[str, List[Dict]][source]
Read a tempo obsys.dat file and compare with PINT.
Produces a report including lines that can be added to PINT’s observatories.json to add any observatories unknown to PINT.
- Parameters:
tempodir (str, optional) – Path to the TEMPO runtime dir; if not provided, look in the TEMPO environment variable.

The dictionary has two entries, under the keys “different” and “missing”; each is a list of observatories found in the TEMPO files that disagree with what PINT expects. Each entry in these lists is again a dict, with various properties of the observatory, including a line that might be suitable for starting an entry in the PINT observatory list.
