Using the API

The gridtk framework is a python library to help submitting, tracking and querying SGE. Here is quick example on how to use the gridtk framework to submit a python script:

import sys
from gridtk.sge import JobManagerSGE
from gridtk.tools import make_shell

manager = JobManagerSGE()
command = make_shell(sys.executable, ['myscript.py', '--help'])
job = manager.submit(command)

You can do, programatically, everything you can do with the job manager - just browse the help messages and the jman script for more information.
