Batch execute any task, with simple json config

Batch execute any task, with simple json config

This module makes it possible to batch execute almost every program that runs from command line on files in input directory and outputs those into output directory (include directory structure). Settings are taken from config.json file. In the future there will be new features added.

Installation

pip install batchexec

Import module batchexec, use the class UniversalBatchExecuter from it with the config file (default: 'config.json'): batch_executer = batchexec.UniversalBatchExecuter('config.json') Then run it with optional additional parameters, e.g.: batch_executer.run('--verbose')
