Classes

BaseLauncher

class IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.BaseLauncher(work_dir=u'.', config=None, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.config.configurable.LoggingConfigurable

An asbtraction for starting, stopping and signaling a process.

__init__(work_dir=u'.', config=None, **kwargs)
arg_str

The string form of the program arguments.

args

A list of cmd and args that will be used to start the process.

This is what is passed to spawnProcess() and the first element will be the process name.

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.

config

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.

created = None
find_args()

The .args property calls this to find the args list.

Subcommand should implement this to construct the cmd and args.

log

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.

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.

notify_start(data)

Call this to trigger startup actions.

This logs the process startup and sets the state to ‘running’. It is a pass-through so it can be used as a callback.

notify_stop(data)

Call this to trigger process stop actions.

This logs the process stopping and sets the state to ‘after’. Call this to trigger callbacks registered via on_stop().

on_stop(f)

Register a callback to be called with this Launcher’s stop_data when the process actually finishes.

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.

running

Am I running.

signal(sig)

Signal the process.

Parameters :

sig : str or int

‘KILL’, ‘INT’, etc., or any signal number

start()

Start the process.

start_data
stop()

Stop the process and notify observers of stopping.

This method will return None immediately. To observe the actual process stopping, see on_stop().

stop_data
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.

BatchSystemLauncher

class IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.BatchSystemLauncher(work_dir=u'.', config=None, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.BaseLauncher

Launch an external process using a batch system.

This class is designed to work with UNIX batch systems like PBS, LSF, GridEngine, etc. The overall model is that there are different commands like qsub, qdel, etc. that handle the starting and stopping of the process.

This class also has the notion of a batch script. The batch_template attribute can be set to a string that is a template for the batch script. This template is instantiated using string formatting. Thus the template can use {n} fot the number of instances. Subclasses can add additional variables to the template dict.

__init__(work_dir=u'.', config=None, **kwargs)
arg_str

The string form of the program arguments.

args

A list of cmd and args that will be used to start the process.

__init__(work_dir=u'.', config=None, **kwargs)
arg_str

This is what is passed to spawnProcess() and the first element will be the process name.

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 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.

cmd_and_args

An instance of a Python list.

config

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.

notify_start(data)

Call this to trigger startup actions.

This logs the process startup and sets the state to ‘running’. It is a pass-through so it can be used as a callback.

notify_stop(data)

Call this to trigger process stop actions.

This logs the process stopping and sets the state to ‘after’. Call this to trigger callbacks registered via on_stop().

on_stop(f)

Register a callback to be called with this Launcher’s stop_data when the process actually finishes.

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.

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.

work_dir

A trait for unicode strings.

write_job_file(n)

Function

IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.find_job_cmd()
