Introduction

Falconry is lightweight python package to create and manage your HTCondor jobs. It handles things like job submission, dependent jobs, and job status checking. It periodically saves progress, so even if you disconnect or htcondor crashes, you can continue where you left off.

Detailed documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs. You can also check example.py for an example of usage. Package has to be first installed using pip as described in section on installation.

For simple submition, you can also use falconry as an executable.

Instalation using pip

Falconry can be installed using pip:

$ pip3 install falconry

Running falconry as an executable

You can do something as simple as:

$ falconry "MY COMMAND"

This will create a job that runs MY COMMAND and will be submitted to HTCondor. You might want to separate different submission by subdirectory, for that use the -s option:

$ falconry "MY COMMAND" -s SUBDIRECTORY

For more options, see the documentation or falconry --help.
