python-grid5000

python-grid5000 is a python package wrapping the Grid’5000 REST API. You can use it as a library in your python project or you can explore the Grid’5000 resources interactively using the embedded shell.

Thanks

The core code is borrowed from python-gitlab with small adaptations to conform with the Grid5000 API models (with an ‘s’!)

Contributing

  • To contribute, you can drop me an email or open an issue for a bug report, or feature request.
  • There are many areas where this can be improved some of them are listed here:
    • The complete coverage of the API isn’t finished (yet) but this should be fairly easy to reach. Most of the logic go in ~grid5000.objects~. And to be honnest I only implemented the feature that I needed the most.
    • Returned status code aren’t yet well treated.

Comparison with …

  • RESTfully: It consumes REST API following the HATEOAS principles. This allows the client to fully discover the resources and actions available. Most of the G5K API follow theses principles but, for instance the Storage API don’t. Thus RESTfully isn’t compatible with all the features offered by the Grid’5000 API. It’s a ruby library. Python-grid5000 borrows the friendly syntax for resource browsing, but in python.
  • Execo: Written in Python. The api module gathers a lot of utils functions leveraging the Grid’5000 API. Resources aren’t exposed in a syntax friendly manner, instead functions for some classical operations are exposed (mainly getters). It has a convenient way of caching the reference API. Python-grid5000 is a wrapper around the Grid’5000 that seeks 100% coverage. Python-grid5000 is resource oriented.
  • Raw requests: The reference for HTTP library in python. Good for prototyping but low-level. python-grid5000 encapsulates this library.

Installation and examples

  • Please refer to https://api.grid5000.fr/doc/4.0/reference/spec.html for the complete specification.
  • All the examples are exported in the examples subdirectory so you can easily test and adapt them.
  • The configuration is read from a configuration file located in the home directory (should be compatible with the restfully one). It can be created with the following:
echo '
username: MYLOGIN
password: MYPASSWORD
' > ~/.python-grid5000.yaml
  • Using a virtualenv is recommended (python 3.5+ is required)
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install python-grid5000

Grid’5000 shell

If you call grid5000 on the command line you should land in a ipython shell. Before starting, the file $HOME/.python-grid5000.yaml will be loaded.
