runexp

A simple tool to run experiments in a complex workflow

Requirements

pip install psutil

Steps to run experiments

1. Copy runexp.py into your directory.
2. Write a script to specify a workflow. The script has to import runexp.Workflow, specify tasks using Workflow, and execute Workflow.run().
3. Run the script.

Example

The following script runs ls -l, sorts its output, and takes the first line of the sorted result.

import runexp
exp = runexp.Workflow()
exp(target='input.txt', rule='ls -l > input.txt')
exp(source='input.txt', target='sorted.txt', rule='sort input.txt > sorted.txt')
exp(source='sorted.txt', target='head.txt', rule='head -n 1 sorted.txt > head.txt')
exp.run()
