Python Bindings version 2 API Reference

Warning

This a preview release of the second major version of the HTCondor Python bindings.

After many years of heavy use and feedback from our users, we need to reimplement the bindings. We didn’t make this decision lightly – it’s a lot of work that could have gone into making things better, rather than staying where we are – but it had to be done. Our goal is to keep as many existing scripts working without change as possible, but we’re also taking advantage of this opportunity to make some significant improvements. Some of these improvements will break some – we hope very few – existing scripts.

We are making this preview available in the 24.0.x stable series so those of you who don’t install the feature series will be able to test your existing Python scripts against the new modules and find these problems before they become urgent.

(These modules are now also included in the PyPI releases.)

For more details on what’s changed, please see Migrating From Version 1.

Because this is a preview release, we may make larger changes more quickly than we would otherwise, which may include removing features without formally deprecating them. We presently hope and expect that all such changes will be made in the 24.y feature series of releases, but this does allow for incompatible changes between 24.0.x and 25.0.x.

Please test your code earlier rather than later, so that we will have time to fix any problems you may discover.

Thanks for the reading all the way through. :)
