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) -- Billy K.

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
