PySGE

About

These files provide low level routines to interface Python code with a Grid Engine-compatible batch job scheduler.

The purpose of this is to abstract away the direct calling of the Grid Engine command-line utility qsub from within a Python script, but to provide nonetheless a faithful mapping of all its available options.

Example

x = SGE.qsubOptions()
x.args.N = 'MyJobName' # Name of Grid Engine job
x.args.t = '1-20'      # Define an array job with 20 subjobs
x.args.p = '-500'      # Set priority to -500
x.args.o = '$JOB_NAME.$JOB_ID.$TASK_ID.stdout.log'.replace('$', '\$') #Set output for each array job
x.args.command = 'mycmd'
x.args.b = 'y'         # This is a binary file 
print '#To submit the array job, run this command:'
x.execute(mode = 'echo')

Note

These routines were tested on Sun Grid Engine 6.2.
