CosmologyFromFormat

class astropy.cosmology.connect.CosmologyFromFormat(instance, cosmo_cls)

Bases: UnifiedReadWrite

Transform object to a Cosmology.

This function provides the Cosmology interface to the Astropy unified I/O layer. This allows easily parsing supported data formats using syntax such as:

>>> from astropy.cosmology import Cosmology
>>> cosmo1 = Cosmology.from_format(cosmo_mapping, format='mapping')

When the from_format method is called from a subclass the subclass will provide a keyword argument cosmology=<class> to the registered parser. The method uses this cosmology class, regardless of the class indicated in the data, and sets parameters’ default values from the class’ signature.

Get help on the available readers using the help() method:

>>> Cosmology.from_format.help()  # Get help and list supported formats
>>> Cosmology.from_format.help('<format>')  # Get detailed help on a format
>>> Cosmology.from_format.list_formats()  # Print list of available formats

**kwargs
