It is used by lustre-shine[1] and it can also be used to script actions on a cluster. [1] lustre-shine (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lustre-shine/) is a command line tool designed to setup and manage the Lustre file system on a cluster. > On 06/06/10 at 23:37 +0200, Stéphan Gorget wrote: > > Dear mentors, > > > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "clustershell". > > > > * Package name : clustershell > > Version : 1.2.83 > > Upstream Author : Stephane Thiell <stephane.thi...@cea.fr> > > * URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/clustershell/ > > * License : CeCILL-C > > Programming Lang: Python > > > > It builds these binary packages: > > clustershell - An event-based Python library to execute commands on > > distant cluster nodes > > > > Description: An event-based Python library to execute commands on local > > or distant cluster nodes in parallel depending on the selected > > engine and worker mechanisms. > > . > > The library provides also advanced nodeset handling methods.

The library provides also advanced nodeset handling methods. Its goal is to improve the administration of cluster by providing a lightweight but scalable API for developers. > -- > | Lucas Nussbaum > | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | > | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | > > > -- Stéphan Gorget
