Python Command Line Service Tool

• David Konerding

Purpose

• Ease command line tool-gt grid service conversion
• Eliminate need to distribute software
• Provide a good example of grid software using
  pyGridWare
• Be simple and easy to understand, unlike WS-GRAM

Plans

• Better command line parsing
• Better redistributable- single binary containing
  Python executable, all generated code and command
  line stubs
• Clients (and servers) written in other Grid
  implementations- C, C, Java and .NET
