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.

This release is based on Slurm 19.05.

Prerequisites

• Slurm
• Python
• Cython

This PySlurm branch has been tested with:

• Cython 0.19.2, and the latest stable
• Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6
• Slurm 19.05.0

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 Q on build line:

   • --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

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

   • python setup.py clean

Documentation

The API documentation is hosted at https://pyslurm.github.io.

To build the docs locally, use Sphinx to generate the documentation from the reStructuredText based docstrings found in the pyslurm module once it is built:

cd doc
make clean
make html
