| 1 | the latest stable pbs_python interface is available from: |
|---|
| 2 | ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pbs_python.tar.gz |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | Pbs_python interface is a wrapper class for the OPENPBS/TORQUE C LIB API. |
|---|
| 5 | Now you can write utilities/extensions in Python instead of C. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | The Python wrapper class is tested on: |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | - Intel cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody/sarge OPENPBS 2.3.16, |
|---|
| 10 | TORQUE 1.0.1p4, 1.1.0p4 and up |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | - For X86_64 systems you have to compile torque/openpbs with |
|---|
| 13 | the -fPIC option. Else you can not build the python module |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | - Compaq Alpha cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody OPENPBS 2.3.16 |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | - SGI Origin 3000: Irix 6.5, OPENPBS 2.3.16 |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and edit |
|---|
| 20 | setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide libnet.so. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | - It should run on different OSes. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2) and we had to add '-lots' |
|---|
| 25 | to the LIBS line |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | --- Compile and install the package: |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is: |
|---|
| 30 | ./configure |
|---|
| 31 | make |
|---|
| 32 | make install |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | --- For python versions lower the 1.6 |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | Python versions lower then 1.6 do not have the distutils |
|---|
| 37 | package default in their installation. You can test it: |
|---|
| 38 | python |
|---|
| 39 | import distutils |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | If this succeed then use the above procedure else use the procedure below: |
|---|
| 42 | cd src |
|---|
| 43 | Adjust the Makefile to where you installed Python and OPENPBS libraries. |
|---|
| 44 | make |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | The python PBS module consists of the following files: |
|---|
| 47 | _pbs.so |
|---|
| 48 | pbs.py |
|---|
| 49 | pbs.pyc ( will be generated from pbs.py. The first time you load |
|---|
| 50 | the module). |
|---|
| 51 | PBSQuery.py ( This is an simple query module. To see how it works... |
|---|
| 52 | python <install_path>/PBSQuery.py ) |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | You can install these file in your own directory and use the PYTHONPATH |
|---|
| 55 | environment variable or install it in a system wide directory, eg: |
|---|
| 56 | /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | --- Testing the package: |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | The test programs are include as a reference how to use the PBS |
|---|
| 61 | python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect |
|---|
| 62 | your PBS installation. |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon |
|---|
| 65 | rack_pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon by rack layout |
|---|
| 66 | pbsnodes-a.py - pbsnodes -a |
|---|
| 67 | pbs_version.py - print server version |
|---|
| 68 | set_property.py - set some node properties |
|---|
| 69 | resmom_info.py - queries the pbs_mom daemon on the nodes |
|---|
| 70 | logpbs.py - Shows the usage of the PBS logging routines |
|---|
| 71 | new_interface.py - Example how to use PBSQuery module |
|---|
| 72 | PBSQuery.py - python <install_path>/PBSQuery.py (has builtin demo) |
