Globus Toolkit 3.9.2 Development Release Notes: PyGlobus

PyGlobus is a contribution from LBL intended to allow the use of the entire Globus toolkit from Python, a high-level scripting language. The goals of pyGlobus are to:

  • Provide a clean object-oriented interface to the Globus toolkit.
  • Provide similar performance to using the underlying C code as much as possible.
  • Minimize the number of changes necessary when aspects of Globus change.
  • Where possible, make Globus as natural to use from Python as possible. For example, the io module allows the manipulation of GSITcpSocket as Python socket objects.
