experipy 0.2.0

A framework for writing and running Computational Science experiments

A framework for writing and running Computational Science experiments.

experipy provides a composable grammar for automating experiment script generation and a tool which can then execute those scripts. Supports PBS script based queueing.

A Simple Example

from experipy.exp       import Experiment
from experipy.grammar   import Executable

exp = Experiment(Executable("echo", ["Hello World"]),
                 expname="test",
                 destdir="results")
exp.run()

This will run the program echo with the argument Hello World in a directory in /tmp, writing the output and error, along with timing information, to the directory results. Directories will be created as needed. A complete example showing how to write an experiment for a Python script can be found in test/runtest.py.

Installation

experipy can be installed from PyPI, and has no other dependencies.

?> pip install experipy
