Python API Pulse/DeadlineCommand

Hi,

in an earlier beta I saw a python api which used the deadlinecommand.exe. When installing the current Beta (11) I am only seeing the python api via pulse. Is the deadlinecommand one already deprecated?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Yeah, that old API is gone. We learned quickly that it didn’t suit our user’s needs because of two things:

It couldn’t be dropped into the Python site-packages folder.
It required Deadline to be installed on the machine.

By changing it to use the Pulse HTTP API, we were able to create a much more lightweight python API, while addressing the two issues above.

Cheers,

Ryan

Thanks for clearing that up.
