Py Ami 4.1.3 | GitLocker.com Product

Description:

pyAMI 4.1.3

For more information see the full
pyAMI documentation
pyAMI 4 is a major upgrade of the AMI python client. The command line syntax
has been rationalized, with improved help functions. pyAMI is available in the
ATLAS software release and also installed centrally on lxplus.
pyAMI can be installed standalone on a laptop. Instructions are given below for
linux and windows.
All commands are simply subcommands of ami.
List AOD datasets matching a pattern:
ami list datasets --type AOD data11_7TeV
list files in a dataset:
ami list files -lhc dataset.name
list latest NTUP_TAUMEDIUM data datasets (and number of events in each one)
originating from AOD in periods L1 and L2 that are contained in a good runs list
(GRL):
ami list data --project data11_7TeV --type NTUP_TAUMEDIUM --parent-type AOD \
--periods L1,L2 --stream physics_JetTauEtmiss --latest --fields events \
--grl mygrl.xml
list runs in a period or multiple periods:
ami list runs B M
display dataset metadata:
ami dataset info dataset.name
and query projects, data types, dataset provenance, etc.
pyAMI also provides an API allowing you to perform all of the same queries
from within your own Python program.

LXPLUS and CVMFS
pyAMI is installed centrally on LXPLUS at CERN. To begin using pyAMI simply:
source /afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/tools/pyAMI/setup.sh
then authenticate yourself if you haven’t already (see below).
pyAMI is also available through CVMFS:
export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase
source $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
localSetupPyAMI
Note : You may need to get a particular version of pyAMI - SLC6 requires:
source /afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/tools/pyAMI/python2.6/setup.sh

Installation
pyAMI requires at least Python 2.4. lxml is optional but
required for XSL transformations. libxml2 and libxslt (dev packages) must be
installed to build lxml.

Automatic Installation
Automatically install the latest version of pyAMI with
pip:
pip install --user pyAMI
or with easy_install:
easy_install --user pyAMI
Omit the --user for a system-wide installation (requires root privileges).
Add ${HOME}/.local/bin to your ${PATH} if using --user and if
it is not there already (put this in your .bashrc):
export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}
To upgrade an existing installation use the -U option in the pip
or easy_install commands above.

Manual Installation
Get the latest tarball on PyPI
Untar and install (replace X appropriately):
tar -zxvf pyAMI-X.tar.gz
cd pyAMI-X
pyAMI uses distribute to install but you may revert to a basic
distutils install by setting the environment variable:
export PYAMI_NO_DISTRIBUTE=1
One advantage of using distribute is that all dependencies are automatically
downloaded and installed for you. To install pyAMI into your home directory
if using at least Python 2.6:
python setup.py install --user
or with older Python versions:
python setup.py install --prefix=~/.local
Add ${HOME}/.local/bin to your ${PATH} if it is not there
already (put this in your .bashrc):
export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}
If you are unable to satisfy the dependency on lxml (only used for XSL
transformations) then you may disable this dependency before installation with:
export PYAMI_NO_LXML=1

Installation on MAC
Tested with System: OXS 10.7.4, Python 2.7.1, GCC 4.2.1
Just follow the instructions for Manual Installation, except that to change the PATH you should do:
export PATH=/Users/yourName/Library/Python/2.7/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}

Installation on Windows

Install python, for example
Python 2.7.3
Install distribute
(for easy installation of dependences). For 64 bit machines there may be problems,
see bugs.python.org/issue6792.
Download pip. For example pip-1.1.tar.gz.
Install pip. Open a “cmd” terminal in windows. Assuming that you installed pip
below Python:
cd C:\Python27\pip-1.1
C:\Python27\python setup.py install

Install pyAMI. pip.exe should be in C:\Python27\Scripts:
cd C:\Python27\Scripts
pip install pyAMI

You might need to install lxml to enable XSLT in a different step - sometimes
pip seems to prefer a version which will not build. If you don’t install
lxml, pyAMI will still work, but you will only be able to obtain XML output
on the command line. However if you only want to use the API of pyAMI you may
skip this step.:
easy_install --allow-hosts=lxml.de,*.python.org lxml==2.2.8

Now so that you can use pyAMI conveniently you must adjust your paths in the
Windows environment. If you do not know how to do this follow the instructions
here www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml.
Add to the path:
PATH C:\PYTHON27;C:\PYTHON27\Scripts

Lastly explain to Windows that a python script can be executed.
Add to the PATHEXT variable:
PATHEXT .PY

Then change the name of the file ami in C:\Python27\Scripts to ami.py
so that script ami.py can be executed just by typing ami.

Note
If you are not administrator of your machine you will probably need to
create the PATHEXT variable in your windows user environment.

Authentication
VOMS authentication is supported:
voms-proxy-init -voms atlas
The alternative option (if gLite is not available)
is to send your username and password along with each AMI command. You can do
this explicitly, or you can set up an encrypted configuration file by running:
ami auth
This will prompt you for your AMI username and password.
You will only need to do this once since your credentials are stored in
~/.pyami/ami.cfg for later use. If your credentials change just
run ami auth again. If you would like to keep your pyAMI configuration
in a directory other than ~/.pyami then set the environment
variable PYAMI_CONFIG_DIR.

Note
Once you make an ami configuration file it will override your voms proxy.
You should destroy it if you want to use a proxy. We implemented it this way because
the most common user error seemed to be trying to run pyAMI with an expired proxy!
Explicitly giving a username and password will override the configuration file.

Version 4.1.2 (26/2/2013)

Upgrade to distribute 0.6.34
Fix installation on Windows
Docs now build properly with buildout
Install setup_pyAMI with the pyAMI bundle for backward compatibility

Version 4.1.1 (13/2/2013)

Upgrade to buildout 2.0.0
Fix a few import issues in pyAMI.extern.ZSI

Version 4.1.0 (4/2/2013)

A patched version of ZSI is now included in pyAMI.extern that removes
dependency on PyXML.
argparse is now included in pyAMI.extern.
A minimal pyAMI installation (no lxml) now does not depend on any external
non-standard library packages.
Added the -F and –from-file to the “ami list datasets” command where the
pattern is interpreted as a file name which will be read for patterns (one per
line, ignoring blank lines or lines beginning with #).
Added the option to perform literal matches with “ami list datasets”
using the new optional flags -L or –literal-match. In this case the pattern
is interpreted as a literal string and the results must match exactly.
A literal match query is much faster than a patterned match and can greatly
speed up commands where you want to query information for known elements.
This option pairs nicely with the new –from-file feature mentioned above for
files listing many complete dataset names that should be interpreted literally
and not as patterns.
AMI errors are now printed correctly.
