aiida.transports.plugins package#

Plugins for the transport.

Submodules#

Local transport

class aiida.transports.plugins.local.LocalTransport(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Transport

Support copy and command execution on the same host on which AiiDA is running via direct file copy and execution commands.

Note that the environment variables are copied from the submitting process, so you might need to clean it with a prepend_text. For example, the AiiDA daemon sets a PYTHONPATH, so you might want to add unset PYTHONPATH if you plan on running calculations that use Python.

DEFAULT_MINIMUM_JOB_POLL_INTERVAL = 0.1#

_DEFAULT_SAFE_OPEN_INTERVAL = 0.0#

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})#

__init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

__init__ method of the Transport base class.

Parameters:

safe_interval – (optional, default self._DEFAULT_SAFE_OPEN_INTERVAL) Minimum time interval in seconds between opening new connections.
use_login_shell – (optional, default True) if False, do not use a login shell when executing command

__module__ = 'aiida.transports.plugins.local'#

__str__()[source]#: Return a description as a string.

_abc_impl = <_abc._abc_data object>#

_exec_command_internal(command, **kwargs)[source]#

Executes the specified command in bash login shell.

Before the command is executed, changes directory to the current working directory as returned by self.getcwd().

For executing commands and waiting for them to finish, use exec_command_wait. Otherwise, to end the process, use the proc.wait() method.

The subprocess is set to have a different process group than the main process, so that it is shielded from signals sent to the parent.

Parameters:: command – the command to execute. The command is assumed to be already escaped using aiida.common.escaping.escape_for_bash().
Returns:: a tuple with (stdin, stdout, stderr, proc), where stdin, stdout and stderr behave as file-like objects, proc is the process object as returned by the subprocess.Popen() class.

_local_listdir(path, pattern=None)[source]#: Act on the local folder, for the rest, same as listdir.

static _os_path_split_asunder(path)[source]#: Used by makedirs, Takes path (a str) and returns a list deconcatenating the path.

_valid_auth_options: list = []#

chdir(path)[source]#: Changes directory to path, emulated internally. :param path: path to cd into :raise OSError: if the directory does not have read attributes.

chmod(path, mode)[source]#

Changes permission bits of object at path :param path: path to modify :param mode: permission bits

Raises:: IOError – if path does not exist.

chown(path, uid, gid)[source]#

Change the owner (uid) and group (gid) of a file. As with python’s os.chown function, you must pass both arguments, so if you only want to change one, use stat first to retrieve the current owner and group.

Parameters:

path (str) – path to the file to change the owner and group of
uid (int) – new owner’s uid
gid (int) – new group id

close()[source]#

Closes the local transport channel

chmod(path, mode)[source]#

Change permissions to path

Parameters:

path – path to file
mode – new permission bits (integer)

chown(path, uid, gid)[source]#

Change owner permissions of a file.

For now, this is not implemented for the SSH transport.

getcwd()[source]#: Return the current working directory for this SFTP session, as emulated by paramiko. If no directory has been set with chdir, this method will return None. But in __enter__ this is set explicitly, so this should never happen within this class.

Get a file from remote to local.

Parameters:

remotepath – a remote path
localpath – an (absolute) local path

makedirs(path, ignore_existing=False)[source]#

Super-mkdir; create a leaf directory and all intermediate ones. Works like mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not just the rightmost) will be created if it does not exist.

NOTE: since os.path.split uses the separators as the host system (that could be windows), I assume the remote computer is Linux-based and use ‘/’ as separators!

Parameters:

path – directory to create (string)

path_exists(path)[source]#: Check if path exists

put(localpath, remotepath, callback=None, dereference=True, overwrite=True, ignore_nonexisting=False)[source]#
