[60]1the latest stable pbs_python interface is available from:
2        ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pbs_python.tar.gz
[8]3
[130]4Information, documentation and reporting bugs for the package:
5        https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/pbs_python
6
[60]7Pbs_python interface is a wrapper class for the OPENPBS/TORQUE C LIB API.
8Now you can write utilities/extensions in Python instead of C. 
9
[8]10The Python wrapper class is tested on:
[44]11
[73]12  - Intel cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody/sarge OPENPBS 2.3.16,
13    TORQUE 1.0.1p4, 1.1.0p4 and up
14
15  - For X86_64 systems you have to compile torque/openpbs with
16    the -fPIC option. Else you can not build the python module
17
[44]18  - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and edit
[45]19    setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide libnet.so.
[44]20
[19]21  - It should run on different OSes.
[8]22
[25]23In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2)  and we had to add '-lots'
24to the LIBS line
25
[90]26--- Compile and install the package: (Require python 2.1 and higher)
[61]27
[21]28  As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is:
[68]29    ./configure
30    make
31    make install
[8]32
[90]33  Debian package:
34    debian/rules binary
[71]35
[19]36--- Testing the package:
[8]37
[130]38The test programs are include as a reference how to use the pbs
[19]39python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect
[130]40your PBS/Torque installation.
