Distributed Resource Management Application API (DRMAA) bindings for Python. For more information read the docs.

• Python 2.6+
• A DRMAA-compatible cluster (e.g., Grid Engine)

• BSD (3 Clause)

• v0.7.4
  • Switch to using preferred encoding from locale module for converting strings to binary. This should prevent some lingering UnicodeEncodeError crashes on Python 2.7.
• v0.7.3
  • Fix a couple crashes when certain functions that expect str were passed integers.
• v0.7.2
  • Fix a couple inconsistencies with str vs bytes in Python 3 in drmaa.session.
• v0.7.1
  • Add Read The Docs documentation
  • Add const module identifiers back into package namespace
  • Remove b prefixes from strings inserted into error messages.
• v0.7.0
  • String attribute issues with Python 3 have all been resolved, and now each function that takes a string can handle unicode strings, and returns unicode strings.
  • All code has been updated to use future imports for unicode_literals and print_function, so we're effectively writing Python 3 code now.
  • PEP8 compliance changes all over the place, except those that would break names required by underlying C DRMAA library.
  • Now automatically run unit tests of Travis-CI with SGE, and all tests pass for Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3. SGE is installed using scripts I describe in this gist.
  • Unit tests are now in a top-level directory instead of a sub-directory under the drmaa package.
  • There is now a session.py module that contains most of the code that was in __init__.py before, and __init__ just imports things and sets __all__ and __version__, as is typically recommended now.
  • Drops support for Python 2.5.
