the latest stable pbs_python interface is available from: ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pbs_python.tar.gz Information, documentation and reporting bugs for the package: https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/pbs_python =============== Brief description ============================= Pbs_python interface is a wrapper class for the OPENPBS/TORQUE C LIB API. Now you can write utilities/extensions in Python instead of C. The Python wrapper class is tested on: - Intel cluster debian GNU/LINUX woody/sarge OPENPBS 2.3.16, TORQUE 1.0.1p4, 1.1.0p4 and up - For X86_64 systems you have to compile torque/openpbs with the -fPIC option. Else you can not build the python module - TRU64 system, NOTE: must rename libnet.a to libpbs_net.a and edit setup.py to reflect the change. There is also a system wide libnet.so. - It should run on different OSes. In the past our Alpha cluster was redhat (6.2) and we had to add '-lots' to the LIBS line -- Compile and install the package: (Require python 2.1 and higher) As for python version 1.6 and higher the procedure is: ./configure make make install Debian package: debian/rules binary --- Testing the package: The test programs are include as a reference how to use the pbs python module. You have to edit some test programs to reflect your PBS/Torque installation. pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon rack_pbsmon.py - ascii xpbsmon by rack layout pbsnodes-a.py - pbsnodes -a pbs_version.py - print server version set_property.py - set some node properties resmom_info.py - queries the pbs_mom daemon on the nodes logpbs.py - Shows the usage of the PBS logging routines new_interface.py - Example how to use PBSQuery module PBSQuery.py - python /PBSQuery.py (has builtin demo) For more info about SARA see: http://www.sara.nl/index_eng.html ******************************************************************** * * * Bas van der Vlies e-mail: basv@sara.nl * * SARA - Academic Computing Services phone: +31 20 592 8012 * * Kruislaan 415 fax: +31 20 6683167 * * 1098 SJ Amsterdam WWW: www.sara.nl * * * ********************************************************************
