HI Elizabeth, There are different options to handle python packages in EB. You can use the "PythonPackage" easyblock or the "Bundle" easyblock. Personally I use PythonPackage for python apps without extra deps and Bundle for apps with many deps but this is quite subjective.
Some examples: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/242a3e19308754796c7dd800d2f9f6f40f6c9e14/easybuild/easyconfigs/c/cutadapt/cutadapt-1.5-intel-2014b-Python-2.7.8.eb https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/242a3e19308754796c7dd800d2f9f6f40f6c9e14/easybuild/easyconfigs/h/HTSeq/HTSeq-0.5.4p5-goolf-1.4.10-Python-2.7.6.eb https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/242a3e19308754796c7dd800d2f9f6f40f6c9e14/easybuild/easyconfigs/g/GC3Pie/GC3Pie-2.4.2.eb https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/2457 If you want to be able to reproduce your build I recommend you to run EB in machine without internet access. Many python packages will download extra dependencies when running "python setup.py build" so to be sure you include all the deps in the easyconfigs you need to do some try&error in a machine without internet access so the automatic download fails, then you can check the error log and add the missing dependencies to the easyconfig btw, for next easybuild release we will have %(pyver)s and %(pyshorver)s templates available for the easyconfigs https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1595 regards, Pablo. -- Pablo Escobar López HPC systems engineer sciCORE, University of Basel SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics http://scicore.unibas.ch 2016-02-08 22:50 GMT+01:00 Elizabeth Fischer <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > Is there any documentation on how EasyBuild interacts with Python > packages?
