I will transfer the sources to a github and will list the link. we at SURFsara are switching from Torque/Maui/Moab to SLURM. SO this project will be come obsolete for us at SURFSARA

Welcome to pbs_python pages

The pbs_python package is a wrapper class for the ​Torque C library. With this package you now can write utilities/extensions in Python instead of C. We developed this package because we want to replace xpbsmon by an ascii version named pbsmon. PBSQuery is also included in this package. This is a python module build on top of the pbs python module to simplify querying the batch server, eg: how many jobs, how many nodes,..
