change_slot_block(slot_index, new_block=None)[source]#

Change the block associated with a slot.

This is currently designed to work for TransitionBlocks in PriorityScheduler The assumption is that the slot afterwards is open and that the start time will remain the same.

If the block is changed to None, the slot is merged with the slot afterwards to make a longer slot.

Parameters:

slot_indexint: The slot to edit
new_blockTransitionBlock, default None: The new transition block to insert in this slot

insert_slot(start_time, block)[source]#

Insert a slot into schedule and associate a block to the new slot.

Parameters:

start_timeTime: The start time for the new slot.
blockObservingBlock: The observing block to insert into new slot.

Returns:

slotslist of Slot objects: The new slots in the schedule.

new_slots(slot_index, start_time, end_time)[source]#

Create new slots by splitting a current slot.

Parameters:

slot_indexint: The index of the slot to split
start_timeTime: The start time for the slot to create
end_timeTime: The end time for the slot to create

Returns:

new_slotslist of Slot s: The new slots created
