Re: [HTCondor-users] thoughts on HTCondor python bindings submit improvements

I'd second this motion. It would make adopting the Python bindings much easier to approach for new users, and serve as a good learning tool when you're able to see the submit() piece input which is generated by a submit file parser.

I think you might be missing the point: make the submit file parser a separate piece. Use the output of that piece as input for submit() piece. Expose both pieces in your API.

Then you can add a submit_string( str ) and submit_file( name ) etc. 
2-liner convenience wrappers on top.

It's the design that's known to work.
