[144]10=============== Brief description =============================
11Pbs_python interface is a wrapper class for the OPENPBS/TORQUE
12C LIB API.  Now you can write utilities/extensions in Python
13instead of C. 
[60]14
[8]15The Python wrapper class is tested on:
[44]16
[73]17  - Intel cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody/sarge OPENPBS 2.3.16,
18    TORQUE 1.0.1p4, 1.1.0p4 and up
19
20  - For X86_64 systems you have to compile torque/openpbs with
21    the -fPIC option. Else you can not build the python module
22
[144]23  - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and
24    edit setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide
25    libnet.so.
[44]26
[19]27  - It should run on different OSes.
[8]28
[144]29In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2)  and we had to
30add '-lots' to the LIBS line
[25]31
[144]32-- Compile and install the package: (Require python 2.1 and higher)
[61]33
[21]34  As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is:
[68]35    ./configure
36    make
37    make install
[8]38
[90]39  Debian package:
40    debian/rules binary
[71]41
[19]42--- Testing the package:
[8]43
[130]44The test programs are include as a reference how to use the pbs
[19]45python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect
[130]46your PBS/Torque installation.
