[docs]def set_casacore_path(path=None):
"""
Set the path in .casarc to the desired data directory
The "measures.directory" in the .casarc file is not used by any part of CASA. This function is
provided as a convenience for casacore users (e.g. python-casacore) so that the path to
the casacore data directory can be found by casacore users. It sets the value of that
parameter to the casacore data location, replacing any previously set value.
Parameters
- path (string=None) - path to the desired data directory. Default None uses the included data directory from this package
Returns
None
