[HTCondor-users] Change submit parameter configuration knob with python bindings

[Kenyi Hurtado Anampa <khurtado@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to change the following parameter that defaults to True:

SUBMIT_GENERATE_CUSTOM_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS = False

via python bindings, using HTCondor 8.9.7. htcondor.param should allow
for that, but it seems it only supports string values. Is this
correct? Is there any other way for setting this parameter?

>>> import htcondor
>>> htcondor.param.get("SUBMIT_GENERATE_CUSTOM_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS")
True
>>>
type(htcondor.param.get("SUBMIT_GENERATE_CUSTOM_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS"))
<type 'bool'>
>>>
htcondor.param.setdefault("SUBMIT_GENERATE_CUSTOM_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS", False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/htcondor/_lock.py", line
75, in wrapper
    rv = func(*args, **kwargs)
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    _Param.setdefault(_Param, str, bool)
did not match C++ signature:
    setdefault(Param {lvalue}, std::string, std::string)
>>> htcondor.param["SUBMIT_GENERATE_CUSTOM_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS"] = False
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/htcondor/_lock.py", line
75, in wrapper
    rv = func(*args, **kwargs)
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    _Param.__setitem__(_Param, str, bool)
did not match C++ signature:
    __setitem__(Param {lvalue}, std::string, std::string)

Best regards,
