Submitting Jobs through scripting

Hey,

Currently we have a python module that uses string manipulation to generate the plugin and submit info files to submit via commandline.

Was wondering whether there are other entries to submit job to Deadline? Any more direct python route?

Hello Toke,

I apologize for not being a coder, but I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Most job submission is done via the deadlinecommand application, which then routes the job to the repository. Were you trying to submit outside of this process? More information would be helpful here. Thanks

Cheers,

yes, I was wondering whether there are a method that doesn’t go through the commandline with text files. Maybe there is a python module that can be imported and used?

its basically because I made a python module that seems quite a bit slower than the default submission scripts.

Hi,
There is something coming in Deadline v6.1 which will very much answer your question :wink:
Are you interested in joining the beta? If so, you can send an email to sales@thinkboxsoftware.com to request access.

is that the native python support?

we are running 6.1 here, but couldnt find any reference or docs on this.

Do you have access to the beta forum section as everything you need is there? Post a thread there and I’ll send you a link to what you need :wink:
