k2mosaic v1.0 is the first attempt to create a generic tool to mosaic Target Pixel Files (TPFs) obtained by NASA's Kepler/K2 mission. The usage is as follows:

$ k2mosaic --help
usage: k2mosaic [-h] [-d PATH] campaign channel cadence

Creates a mosaic of all K2 target pixel files in a given channel during a
single cadence.

positional arguments:
  campaign              Campaign number.
  channel               Channel number (1-84).
  cadence               Cadence number.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d PATH, --data_store PATH
                        Path to the directory that contains a mirror of the
                        target pixel files directory in the K2 data archive,
                        i.e. a directory that contains a mirror of http://arch
                        ive.stsci.edu/missions/k2/target_pixel_files/.

This tool will look for data in the directory specified by the --data_store
parameter. If that fails, it will look inside the directory specified by the
$K2DATA environment variable. If this fails as well, then the data will be
downloaded from the archive on the fly.
