[HTCondor-users] Python bindings questions

[Stephen Jones <sjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
