[HTCondor-users] custom universes?

[Klint Gore <kgore4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a thought - would there be a way to setup a python universe like the java universe?  Is there some threshold where an interpreter becomes a candidate for its own universe?  

Sooner or later, I'm going to have to deal with python across a mix of ubuntu and centos which have different default python versions.  If I could create a universes like python26, python27 and python3 that might make life easier.  I'm envisaging something like /etc/condor/universe.d/python27.conf that contains where the interpreter is, the environment setup for it particular to the node, and how to construct the line to execute the program.

Klint.

This is good enough for now. The reason I wanted to use the script as the executable initially is that I was hoping that the OS on the Windows machine would figure out how to run python script using its default python interpreter. In other words, I wanted a way to emulate the effect of adding the following 'shebang' on a unix machine #!/usr/bin/env python I realise that that's probably not a good idea anyway, since then I'd have no control over which packages are available on that particular machine. By specifying the path to a particular interpreter, I avoid that uncertainty. 
Anyway, thanks again for the help.
