Announcing PyXG PyXG = Python + Xgrid Summary: PyXG provides a Python interface to Xgrid, Xgrid is Apple's solution for running jobs on a cluster of Macintosh computers. The main goal of this project is to enable users to submit and manage Xgrid jobs on a cluster of Macs from a Python script or within an interactive Python session. Features: -- Use Xgrid from within python scripts as well as in interactive Python sessions -- Submit and manage simple (one task) and batch (many task) Xgrid jobs -- List available grids and query their status -- List active Xgrid jobs, query their status and perform various actions (delete, restart, etc.) on them -- Easily work with more than one Xgrid controller or grid at the same time. -- Quickly create sets of jobs using Python's powerful syntax The homepage for PyXG is at: http://hammonds.scu.edu/~classes/pyxg.html Apple's description of Xgrid is at: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/xgrid.html Brian Granger Brian E.
