Hi Rob,

Yes, you can access those attributes, but you have to work with the phil object, not the extract. Here is some sample code. There is more code in the libtbx/phil/interface.py that builds some dictionaries for tracking these values.

arrayinfo_phil_str = """
selected_info {
span = True
.type = bool
.short_caption = "Span"
minmax_data = True
.type = bool
.short_caption = "min,max data"
}
"""

def recursive_show(phil_object):
for o in phil_object.objects:
if o.is_scope:
recursive_show(o)
elif o.is_definition:
# o.show()
print('My name is', o.name)
print('My value is', str(o.words[0]))
print('My type is', str(o.type))
print('My short_caption is', o.short_caption)
print('My full path is', o.full_path())
# print(dir(o))

from libtbx.phil import parse
p = parse(arrayinfo_phil_str)
recursive_show(p)

Hi,

Most likely a trivial question but if I have a PHIL object such as one
based on the string

arrayinfo_phil_str = """
selected_info {
   span = True
     .type = bool
     .short_caption = "Span"
   minmax_data = True
     .type = bool
     .short_caption = "min,max data"
}
"""

I can then get the PHIL definitions span and minmax_data as python
values like:

from libtbx.phil import parse
parse(arrayinfo_phil_str).extract().selected_info.span
parse(arrayinfo_phil_str).extract().selected_info.minmax_data

But how do I access the values of the short_caption attribute of these
definitions? Does that make sense or have not understood correctly how
PHIL works?

Thanks,

Rob
