[HTCondor-users] Python bindings and per job history files

[L Kreczko <L.Kreczko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear experts,

I am currently trying to parse our per job history files. The example I got together so far is
import classad;
f = open("/var/lib/gratia/condorce_data/history.10.0");
ads = classad.parseAds(f);
for c in ads:
ÂÂÂ print c

where the printout looks similar to that of a classAd (indeed the type is a class ad).

However,
print c["JobStatus"]
fails with
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "test_history.py", line 7, in <module>
ÂÂÂ print c["JobStatus"]
StopIteration

From the examples I've seen, this should be possible.

Fun fact: if I add
print dir(c )

to the for-loop, it works.

Equivalently, if I change the iterator to a list
for c in ads: -> for c in list(ads):

it works as well.

Is this a bug in the way the iterator is constructed or am I missing something?

The history file can be seen here:

and the python example:

working python:

I am running htcondor 8.4.3 and python 2.6.6.

Cheers,

Luke
