| 1 | the latest stable pbs_python interface is available from: |

| 7 | =============== Brief description ============================= |
|---|
| 8 | Pbs_python interface is a wrapper class for the OPENPBS/TORQUE |
|---|
| 9 | C LIB API. Now you can write utilities/extensions in Python |
|---|
| 10 | instead of C. |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | The Python wrapper class is tested on: |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | - Intel cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody/sarge OPENPBS 2.3.16, |
|---|
| 15 | TORQUE 1.0.1p4, 1.1.0p4 and up |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | - For X86_64 systems you have to compile torque/openpbs with |
|---|
| 18 | the -fPIC option. Else you can not build the python module |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and |
|---|
| 21 | edit setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide |
|---|
| 22 | libnet.so. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | - It should run on different OSes. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2) and we had to |
|---|
| 27 | add '-lots' to the LIBS line |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | -- Compile and install the package: (Require python 2.1 and higher) |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is: |
|---|
| 32 | ./configure |
|---|
| 33 | make |
|---|
| 34 | make install |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | Debian package: |
|---|
| 37 | debian/rules binary |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | --- Testing the package: |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | The test programs are include as a reference how to use the pbs |
|---|
| 42 | python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect |
|---|
| 43 | your PBS/Torque installation. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon |
|---|
| 46 | rack_pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon by rack layout |
|---|
| 47 | pbsnodes-a.py - pbsnodes -a |
|---|
| 48 | pbs_version.py - print server version |
|---|
| 49 | set_property.py - set some node properties |
|---|
| 50 | resmom_info.py - queries the pbs_mom daemon on the nodes |
|---|
| 51 | logpbs.py - Shows the usage of the PBS logging routines |
|---|
| 52 | new_interface.py - Example how to use PBSQuery module |
|---|
| 53 | PBSQuery.py - python <install_path>/PBSQuery.py (has builtin demo) |
