Deadline Function for Returning Frame List?

Deadline
1

Hello,
As mentioned here:

thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … ng_Options

There are various methods of sending frame lists to deadline. For other parts of our pipeline, I need to get a list of all the frames that were actually requested… before I write a python script to parse the string and return the list, I was wondering (hoping) that somewhere in the DL python libs, this function already exists so as to leverage off that - just in case you change or add functionality to your frame string parser.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Seth,

Looking into this, it looks like the is a deadlinecommand option called GetJob. If you provide it with the jobID obtained either via command line or via the job properties int he monitor, it will output a bunch of data about the job. Two lines, ‘Frames’ and ‘FramesList’ will have info you should be able to use. It might take a bit to scrub for that info, but it should work to get you the data you need. Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Thanks Dwight!
As production time frames usually require, I ended up writing my own… which for now is working… but when time allows, i’ll switch it over to using your lib to future proof my code!

Isn’t there the FrameListUtils package?
