Re: [HTCondor-users] Python bindings questions

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The python bindings will find the root of the condor configuration by looking at the CONDOR_CONFIG environment variable if it exists.
If not, they will look in the "usual places".  The bindings work just like the HTCondor tools in this respect, except that within the bindings, you can set the CONDOR_CONFIG environment variable, and then force a reconfig to force the change of configuration location to happen for the current process. 

Is this not sufficient to solve your problem?

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Python bindings questions

Hi,

We use HTCondor-CE at our tier 2 grid site.

I think the BDII software that comes with HTCondor-CE interacts with 
HTCondor-CE via "python bindings", perhaps?

Here's the issue. We have HTCondor CE and a condor batch system on the 
same computer.

The BDII (which I think is part of the CE) gets its config from the 
batch system, not the CE.

So to fix this, I have to put the config in the "wrong" place... (and 
then I need to change a puppet module to support his kludge.)

I don't like that much. The python bindings _should_ read the config 
from the right place. But perhaps they don't have a way to know?

Note that on sites (e.g. CERN) that put the BDII on a different 
computer to the batch system, this, perhaps, doesn't occur? I don't know.

Anyway, it's something to watch out for.... can it be fixed? Or am I 
doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Ste
