PySlurm: Slurm interface for Python

Overview

Currently PySlurm is under development to move from it's thin layer on top of the Slurm C API to an object orientated interface.

The current branch is based on the Slurm 2.5.0 API

Prerequistes

This version has been tested with Slurm 2.5.0, Cython 0.17.3 and Python 2.7

• [Python] http://www.python.org
• [Cython] http://www.cython.org

Installation

You will need to instruct the setup.py script where either the SLURM install root directory or where the SLURM libraries and SLURM include files are :

1. Slurm default directory (/usr):

   • python setup.py build
   • python setup.py install

2. Indicate Blue Gene type (L/P/Q) on build line:

   • --bgl or --bgp or --bgq

3. Slurm root directory (Alternate installation directory):

   • python setup.py build --slurm=PATH_TO_SLURM_DIR
   • python setup.py install

4. Separate Slurm library and include directory paths:

   • python setup.py build --slurm-lib=PATH_TO_SLURM_LIB --slurm-inc=PATH_TO_SLURM_INC
   • python setup.py install

If you still have issues then you could code this directly into the setup.py

#. The build will automatically call a cleanup procedure to remove temporary build files but this can be called directly as well with :

• python setup.py clean

Documentation

Prebuilt documentation for the module can be reviewed online, and the source code is available on GitHub.
