1the latest stable pbs_python interface is available from:
2        ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pbs_python.tar.gz
3
4Information, documentation and reporting bugs for the package:
5        https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/pbs_python
6
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
10The Python wrapper class is tested on:
11
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
18  - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and edit
19    setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide libnet.so.
20
21  - It should run on different OSes.
22
23In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2)  and we had to add '-lots'
24to the LIBS line
25
26--- Compile and install the package: (Require python 2.1 and higher)
27
28  As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is:
29    ./configure
30    make
31    make install
32
33  Debian package:
34    debian/rules binary
35
36--- Testing the package:
37
38The test programs are include as a reference how to use the pbs
39python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect
40your PBS/Torque installation.
41
42pbsmon.py        - ascii xpbsmon
43rack_pbsmon.py   - ascii xpbsmon by rack layout
44pbsnodes-a.py    - pbsnodes -a
45pbs_version.py   - print server version
46set_property.py  - set some node properties
47resmom_info.py   - queries the pbs_mom daemon on the nodes
48logpbs.py        - Shows the usage of the PBS logging routines
49new_interface.py - Example how to use PBSQuery module
