IRON PYTHON 2.7

Deadline

Hey
Where can I find manual for deadline modules and python?
How I can connect deadline module to python?

I want to do test with ffmpeg

Thanks

Deadline currently doesn’t ship with any Deadline-specific python modules. The scripts that run in the context of Deadline actually work with .NET classes and objects.

Can you be more specific? Are you just wanting to submit ffmpeg jobs to Deadline?

If you’re looking to do something else, can you provide specifics?

Cheers,

this is the command I tried to write

sys.path
[‘.’, ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib’, ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\
IronPython 2.7\DLLs’, ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7’, ‘C:\Program F
iles (x86)\IronPython 2.7\lib\site-packages’, '\\miksrv\DeadlineRepository
']
from System.IO import *
from Deadline.Scripting import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ImportError: No module named Deadline.Scripting
from Deadline.Scripting import *

Yeah, you won’t be able to import anything from Deadline from the python console. I was actually looking for more info about what you wanted to do with Deadline and ffmpeg.

Hey again

First of all on the Deadline site is posted that anyone can make a script , its easy. How I can make it without to check my script ? How I can check my script without python? You dont expect me to submit job and only then check if my script is worked.
I need work space to check myself.

I need to write script that
runs after the job is completed
takes submitted file name
pulling out few things from filename
paste those things in ffmpeg command line
and convert

ffmpeg job in deadline is not an option, because, it need to be configured every time is job completed.
The script must work automatically after the job will be completed.

Unfortunately, that’s really the only way to test your post-job scripts at this time. It’s on the wishlist to add a proper devleoper’s environment to Deadline to properly test these things.

What you could do is submit a very simple job that only takes a second to render. You could then requeue that job every time you need to run a test. If it’s a post job script, you can just requeue the post job task.
