Usage
In the pbs_python package the are two modules:
- pbs
- This python module wraps all the C-functions that are defined in pbs_ifl.h header file. The function names in the module are the same as for C.
- PBSQuery
- This is a python module build on top of the pbs python module. It can only be used for query purposes, eg: how many jobs, how many nodes, etc ..
PBS python module
As already mentioned this module use the same funcions names as the C-library. So you can use the man-pages that are include in Torque software to see which arguments are required and returned. Keep in mind that the following C-types will be converted to Python-type:
- C linked list are converted to python list and vica versa
- If C-struct is required then first allocate storage for it. The mostly used structs are:
- struct attr * --> pbs.new_attr(2), allocates a list of size 2 of type attr
- struct attropl * --> pbs.new_attropl(2), allocates a list of size 2 of type attropl
