Running Task array jobs
Example SGE job script (One job with 10 tasks)
#!/bin/bash #$ -N ARRAY_TEST_JOB #$ -cwd -V #$ -q short.q #$ -l mem_free=1G,h_vmem=1.2G #$ -t 1-10 python2 mycode.py
To use the current SGE job task number your python code you need to access the variable and assign it.
#!/bin/python2 import os os.environ.keys() taskid = os.environ['JOB_ID']
Managing packages with virtual environments
It is recommend to use Python Virtual Environments to create isolated Python environments where you can install any package combinations you need without worrying about dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
Please read | Creating Virtual Environments for more information
The basic usage is like so:
Using virtualenv: (Python 2.6)
virtualenv <DIR> source <DIR>/bin/activate
Using venv: (Pyhton 3.5)
python3.5 -m venv <DIR> source <DIR>/bin/activate
