http://homepage.univie.ac.at/wolfgang.lechner/gmailpm.html

Description:
1. Create a TGmailProjectMonitoring object

import gmailpm.gmailpm as gpm
pm = gpm.TGmailProjectMonitoring(emailAddress="[e-mail]", emailPassword="yourpassword",projectName="TestProject")

Note, that the class TGmailProjectMonitoring requires 3 arguments, your emailaddress, your password and a discription of the job.


2. At the beginning of your code send a Mail to your gmail account with senStaretedMessage

pm.sendStartMessage()

sendStartMessage without arguments sends a message with the projectname as subject and hostname and current directory as body. You can
override the body text with the optional argument info (eg. pm.sendStartMessage(info="started
at CLUSTER:./mydir") )

3. In order to protocoll your progress you can send a progress message with

pm.sendProgressMessage("After %d Steps: Avg=123456.7890" % (i,))


Example:
if __name__=="__main__":
project = "TestProject"
pm = TGmailProjectMonitoring(emailAddress="[e-mail]",emailPassword="password",projectName=project)
pm.sendStartMessage(info="startedat CLUSTER:./mydir")
pm.sendProgressMessage("Progress 50%")
pm.sendProgressMessage("Finished")
