Working Directory

HostPhot relies on the same working directory accross different modules and functions. This is set to images by default (under your current directory):

import hostphot

print('Hostphot version:', hostphot.__version__)
print('Working directory:', hostphot.workdir)
Hostphot version: 2.5.0
Working directory: images

If the user wants to change the HostPhot working directory, a .env file must be created under the current directory and must have the following content:

workdir = "path/to/new/workdir"

where path/to/new/workdir will be the new working directory for HostPhot:

print('Working directory:', hostphot.workdir)
Working directory: path/to/new/workdir
