Dis.co Python SDK

This package lets you run jobs on Dis.co platform from a Python program.

Using the SDK, you can create computing jobs, run them on Dis.co, and get their results to your local machine. It is possible to offload any kind of Python program to be run on Dis.co.

Prerequisites

1. An Dis.co account.

2. Python version 3.6 and up.

3. Dis.co Python SDK installed:

   $ pip install disco
   

Example

import disco
import pathlib

disco.set_credentials('john@example.com', 'my_password', save_to_config=True)

my_file_id = disco.upload_file('my_file.py', pathlib.Path('/home/bob/my_file.py'))
job = disco.Job.create(my_file_id)
job.start()

(task_result,) = job.get_results(block=True)
task_result.write_files('/home/bob/my_result')

The code above uploads the file /home/bob/my_file.py, runs it on Dis.co cloud, waits for the job to finish, and writes the results to /home/bob/my_result.

When the job has been created, you can see it listed in list_jobs():

>>> import disco
>>> disco.Job.list_jobs())
[{'id': '5d650d25179854000d72b8cc', 'archived': False, 'name': 'd08e3e029bfc412ebc316e21f1a7dae0', 'status': 'Done', 'taskStates': ['Success']}]

This functions returns an instance of Job, which gives access to many useful operations on a job (see the API documentation).
