IPControllerApp

class IPython.parallel.apps.ipcontrollerapp.IPControllerApp(**kwargs)

Bases: IPython.parallel.apps.baseapp.BaseParallelApplication

__init__(**kwargs)

aliases

An instance of a Python dict.

auto_create

A boolean (True, False) trait.

builtin_profile_dir

A trait for unicode strings.

check_pid(pid)

children

An instance of a Python list.

classmethod class_config_section()

Get the config class config section

classmethod class_get_help()

Get the help string for this class in ReST format.

classmethod class_get_trait_help(trait)

Get the help string for a single trait.

classmethod class_print_help()

Get the help string for a single trait and print it.

classmethod class_trait_names(**metadata)

Get a list of all the names of this classes traits.

This method is just like the trait_names() method, but is unbound.

classmethod class_traits(**metadata)

Get a list of all the traits of this class.

This method is just like the traits() method, but is unbound.

The TraitTypes returned don’t know anything about the values that the various HasTrait’s instances are holding.

This follows the same algorithm as traits does and does not allow for any simple way of specifying merely that a metadata name exists, but has any value. This is because get_metadata returns None if a metadata key doesn’t exist.

created = None

description = 'Start the IPython controller for parallel computing.\n\nThe IPython controller provides a gateway between the IPython engines and\nclients. The controller needs to be started before the engines and can be\nconfigured using command line options or using a cluster directory. Cluster\ndirectories contain config, log and security files and are usually located in\nyour ipython directory and named as "profile_name". See the `profile`\nand `profile-dir` options for details.\n'

examples = '\nipcontroller --ip=192.168.0.1 --port=1000 # listen on ip, port for engines\nipcontroller --scheme=pure # use the pure zeromq scheduler\n'

exit(exit_status=0)

An instance of a Python list.

flags

An instance of a Python dict.

forward_logging()

generate_config_file()

generate default config file from Configurables

get_pid_from_file()

Get the pid from the pid file.

If the pid file doesn’t exist a PIDFileError is raised.

import_statements

An instance of a Python list.

init_config_files()

[optionally] copy default config files into profile dir.

init_crash_handler()

Create a crash handler, typically setting sys.excepthook to it.

init_hub()

init_logging()

Start logging for this application.

The default is to log to stdout using a StreaHandler. The log level starts at loggin.WARN, but this can be adjusted by setting the log_level attribute.

init_profile_dir()

initialize the profile dir

init_schedulers()

initialize(argv=None)

initialize_subcommand(subc, argv=None)

Initialize a subcommand with argv.

classmethod initialized()

Has an instance been created?

classmethod instance(*args, **kwargs)

Returns a global instance of this class.

This method create a new instance if none have previously been created and returns a previously created instance is one already exists.

The arguments and keyword arguments passed to this method are passed on to the __init__() method of the class upon instantiation.

Examples

Create a singleton class using instance, and retrieve it:

>>> from IPython.config.configurable import SingletonConfigurable
>>> class Foo(SingletonConfigurable): pass
>>> foo = Foo.instance()
>>> foo == Foo.instance()
True

Create a subclass that is retrived using the base class instance:

>>> class Bar(SingletonConfigurable): pass
>>> class Bam(Bar): pass
>>> bam = Bam.instance()
>>> bam == Bar.instance()
True

ipython_dir

A trait for unicode strings.

keyvalue_description

A trait for unicode strings.

load_config_file(suppress_errors=True)

Load the config file.

By default, errors in loading config are handled, and a warning printed on screen. For testing, the suppress_errors option is set to False, so errors will make tests fail.

load_config_from_json()

load config from existing json connector files.

location

A trait for unicode strings.

log_level

An enum that whose value must be in a given sequence.

log_to_file

A boolean (True, False) trait.

log_url

A trait for unicode strings.

loop

A trait whose value must be an instance of a specified class.

The value can also be an instance of a subclass of the specified class.

mq_class

A trait for unicode strings.

name = u'ipcontroller'

on_trait_change(handler, name=None, remove=False)

Setup a handler to be called when a trait changes.

This is used to setup dynamic notifications of trait changes.

Static handlers can be created by creating methods on a HasTraits subclass with the naming convention ‘_[traitname]_changed’. Thus, to create static handler for the trait ‘a’, create the method _a_changed(self, name, old, new) (fewer arguments can be used, see below).

Parameters :

handler : callable

A callable that is called when a trait changes. Its signature can be handler(), handler(name), handler(name, new) or handler(name, old, new).

name : list, str, None

If None, the handler will apply to all traits. If a list of str, handler will apply to all names in the list. If a str, the handler will apply just to that name.

remove : bool

If False (the default), then install the handler. If True then unintall it.

option_description

A trait for unicode strings.

overwrite

A boolean (True, False) trait.

parse_command_line(argv=None)

Parse the command line arguments.

print_alias_help()

Print the alias part of the help.

print_description()

Print the application description.

print_examples()

Print usage and examples.

This usage string goes at the end of the command line help string and should contain examples of the application’s usage.

print_flag_help()

Print the flag part of the help.

print_help(classes=False)

Print the help for each Configurable class in self.classes.

If classes=False (the default), only flags and aliases are printed.

print_options()

print_subcommands()

Print the subcommand part of the help.

print_version()

Print the version string.

profile

A trait for unicode strings.

reinit_logging()

remove_pid_file()

Remove the pid file.

This should be called at shutdown by registering a callback with reactor.addSystemEventTrigger(). This needs to return None.

reuse_files

A boolean (True, False) trait.

save_connection_dict(fname, cdict)

save a connection dict to json file.

save_urls()

save the registration urls to files.

secure

A boolean (True, False) trait.

ssh_server

A trait for unicode strings.

stage_default_config_file()

auto generate default config file, and stage it into the profile.

start()

subapp

A trait whose value must be an instance of a specified class.

The value can also be an instance of a subclass of the specified class.

subcommand_description

A trait for unicode strings.

subcommands

An instance of a Python dict.

to_work_dir()

trait_metadata(traitname, key)

Get metadata values for trait by key.

trait_names(**metadata)

Get a list of all the names of this classes traits.

traits(**metadata)

Get a list of all the traits of this class.

The TraitTypes returned don’t know anything about the values that the various HasTrait’s instances are holding.

This follows the same algorithm as traits does and does not allow for any simple way of specifying merely that a metadata name exists, but has any value. This is because get_metadata returns None if a metadata key doesn’t exist.

update_config(config)

Fire the traits events when the config is updated.

use_threads

A boolean (True, False) trait.

version

A trait for unicode strings.

work_dir

A trait for unicode strings.

write_pid_file(overwrite=False)

Create a .pid file in the pid_dir with my pid.

This must be called after pre_construct, which sets self.pid_dir. This raises PIDFileError if the pid file exists already.

IPython.parallel.apps.ipcontrollerapp.launch_new_instance()

Create and run the IPython controller
