isf_is_using_legacy_mdb¶

config.isf_is_using_legacy_mdb()¶

Check if ISF is configured to use model_data_base

The use of model_data_base is strongly discouraged, as the saved data is not robust under API changes.

There are two reasons to use it anyways:

• Reading in existing data that has already been saved with this database system (i.e. the IBS Oberlaender Lab), in which case one must also from ibs_projects import compatibility

• Testing purposes

Returns:¶

whether or not ISF needs to use model_data_base as a database backend.

Return type:¶
