Hello there ... I need to execute a python script with boinc. I got my server app and running, I been testing create projects and apps. I'm somewhat familiar with Boinc overall. Now I need to setup an app that execute a python script. This script takes an input file, perform a computation and produces an output. Simple stuff. In regards to executing python apps I've found PyBoinc (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/PythonApps) although it looks abandoned (broken links, 12 years since last update). I've also read about PyMW here https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/PyMw, but that also seems abandoned (again, with broken links and old updates). How could I approach this ? If take care of having python installed on the client devices, can I set up the app to simply execute my script using the clients python cli? Thanks |

I'd suggest you contact the developers at the GPUGrid project. All of their apps are python based. They are experts at setting up a python environment and Boinc wrapper on client machines. It seems to be as simple as packaging a LARGE python environment for downloading as a task and simply, unpacking it and executing the included python scripts in the package. |

If only it was possible to profile python environment to see what functions are accessed and then delete all files that aren't used. |
