Helper Scripts

These are various scripts that automate tedious tasks.

pickEvents.py

Location: PatTools/scripts/pickEvents.py

Given a json file which maps dataset names to lists of run/evt/lumis, create a file which will call the appropriate copyPickMerge commands.

The json file should have the following format:

{

"DATASET_ALIAS" : [ [run1, lumi1, evt1], [run2, lumi2, evt] ], "ANOTHER_DATASET_ALIAS" : [ [run1, lumi1, evt1], [run2, lumi2, evt] ]

}

The actual dataset corresponding to a dataset alias is mapped in the datadefs dictionary in PatTools/datadefs.py

Usage:

pickEvents.py json_file > pickers.sh

bash < pickers.sh

printEvents.py

Location: PatTools/scripts/printEvents.py

Companion to pickEvents (above). Prints out a nicely formatted list given the run-lumi-evt json file.

deltaR.py

This stupid thing just figures out the deltaR on the command line

Usage:

deltaR.py eta1,phi1 eta2,phi2

dropLumiInfo.py

If you merge a very tight skim together into one EDM root file, it still has the lumi information from every skimmed lumisection/run. This can take a lot of space O(1GB). This script just takes an input file and drops all the lumi and run auxilliary information from it.

Usage:

dropLumiInfo.py inputFiles=[input_file] outputFile=[output_file]

addSelectedHPSTaus.py

Fireworks (cmsShow) works on a collection basis, so it doesn't work well w/ the PFTau discriminator model. This script just takes an input file, runs PFTau, and adds a collection "hpsLooseTaus", which are taus which pass the decay mode and loose combined iso discriminators.

Usage:

addSelectedHPSTaus.py inputFiles=[input_file] outputFile=[output_file]

trimJSON.py

Location: Utilities/scripts/trimJSON.py

Apply a run selection to a JSON file.

Usage:

trimJSON.py -i json_in -o json_out [-firstRun X] [-lastRun Y]

compareEventLists.py

Location: Utilities/scripts

Compare to event lists and find the differences.

The file can be almost any format.

Usage:

compareEventLists.py file1 file2

eventListJSONDump.py

Location: Utilities/scripts

Dump a event list json file to a simple format.

[format] can be python (list of tuples) or colons (for edmCopyPickMerge)

Usage:

eventListJSONDump.py json_file [format]
