[HTCondor-users] Rationale for choices in python-binding daemon queries

[Jeff Templon <templon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I spent an hour scratching my head why my history queries had âdisappearedâ but not my query about running jobs.  It took me a long time to realise the Schedd query was returning a list of ads, while the history query returned a HistoryIterator.  And for that, the Dutch would say âop is opâ (close to the American âsupplies may be limitedâ).

Why the difference between these two?  Iâm curious.  I donât need a solution, I just used the iterator to create a list, which I use in the rest of the program.  Iâm hoping for insight why the choice is different.
