And another question!

Since its a library I don't really have a "boinc_app" to monitor. I will just call the input scripts. The input would be the "boinc_app".

I'm thinking on doing a really simple program that just calls the input file via command line and waits till a output file is written. Is this the best solution? Is it possible to just copy the input file as a "boinc_app"?

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

My computations will not take more than 2hours/user, is it ok for the vbox?

I will now configure the VM!

Hello, I'm making a BOINC project with the pDynamo program (molecular modeling) https://sites.google.com/site/pdynamomodeling/ . It is a big library of Python and C. It runs via Python scripts (input.py), and writes an output.

I read on the wiki that I can use pyBOINC, but PyBOINC is not maintained. Can I use vboxwrapper, with a virtual machine with the library compiled inside?

I can't use py2exe since i will run on unix guests and it is a library made of python, c and cython.

I already have the server up and running!

Are there any other options? Will the vboxwrapper work?

Thank you.
J
