They are awefull all right, but I don't see a better way. Please have a look at the the repository -- under pysaga/doc/ you'll see masterthesis-paul.pdf which motivates that decision quite nicely. You probably should go over that doc anyway. Best, Andre. On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 8:43 PM, Ole Weidner <ole.weidner@rutgers.edu> wrote:
Hi Andre,
can you please lay out the arguments for the existence of these abominable is_dir_self, is_link_self, etc. constructs? (With some example code, if possible). They look beyond awful and are, btw. a violation of GFD.90 ;-) Let's see if we can come up with something better!
Thanks! Ole

Hi Andre, All
I was just thinking through some practical / convenient improvements for the Python Language bindings. Do you think it would make sense to allow creation of a saga.job.Description from a dictionary, e.g.,
jd = saga.job.Description({'Executable':'/bin/sleep', 'Arguments':['60']})
I should have added that in the bindings - the implementation allows that already. Thanks!
IMHO this would be a very nice, optional addition. In conjunction with the already existing attributes_as_dict(), the API would become more 'symmetric' and would allow not only serialization but also convenient de-serialization.
Also, *please* rename attributes_as_dict() to as_dict(). The attribute_ prefix is redundant (Attributes.attributes_as_dict()) and as_dict() is just more commonly used.
Makes sense.
Best, Andre.
Cheers, Ole

Yes, sure! I am still working on the parameter types/names/documentation, and will send it around as soon as that is done.
The sources are as always in the redmine git.
Best, Andre.

Andre, Will you circulate a new PDF when you want us to read it again? Steve
