so cloomis report that cards will be created like this :

cards = getPfsConfigCards(actor, cmd, visit, date=None)

price Craig reports that would prefer this argument to be added directly in the constructor.
But I'm actually using the copy method to create the "per-visit" pfsConfig file :

pfsConfig = pfsConfig0.copy(visit=visit)

So we would need to add this argument to this method, is that fine with you ?

That method takes **kwargs, so I think you only need to update the constructor.

right but only for the keys in :

keywords = PfsConfig._keywords + PfsConfig._scalars + ['fiberStatus']

If we add the argument name to say PfsConfig_scalars that should indeed work.

Yes, you absolutely need to add header to _scalars. And please be sure to add something to the tests as well.
