Python LORA Interface

Maintainer: Ian Lee ian@llnl.gov

This package is an attempt to create a Python interface to the LC Lorenz REST API: LORA

The LORA API is documented, with examples, at: https://lc.llnl.gov/lorenz/lora/

Usage

Very much a work in progress, but here is a rough idea of how you could use this in an interactive Python terminal:

>>> import lora

>>> cz_lora = lora.LoraSession()
>>> cz_lora.login()
Pin & Token: xxxxxxxx

>>> cz_lora.getAllClusters()
{
    'error': '',
    'output': {
        'accounts': [
            'ansel',
            'aztec',
            'cab',
            'catalyst',
            'herd',
            'oslic',
            'quartz',
            'surface',
            'syrah',
            'vulcan'
        ]
    },
    'status': 'OK'
}

Future Ideas / Work

• The Python Requests ecosystem includes a package, requests-kerberos that can provide authentication support for Kerberos / GSSAPI. This might be a better way to interact with with the LC environment, particular for applications running on the actual systems.
