hqueue.rendertrackerrpc.startedFrameRender(frame, job_id, image_path)

hqueue.rendertrackerrpc.startedGeneratingFrameIFD(frame)

hqueue.rendertrackerrpc.startedRenderProject(frames, generate_ifds, job_id)

hqueue.server module

This module contains functionality that requires connecting to the HQueue server.

hqueue.server.connection()

Return a proxy connection to the HQueue server.

hqueue.server.getJobCPUAndTagInfo(job_id=None)

If job_id is None then return info on the current job running this process.

hqueue.server.getJobInfo(job_id, attribs=None)

Return information on the requested attributes for the specified job.

Attribute information is returned as a dictionary.

attribs can be a list of attribute names. If attribs is None then all attribute information is returned.

If job_id is None then information on the current job running this process is returned.

hqueue.server.getParentJobID()

Return current job’s parent job id.

The current job is the one running this process. If the current job has multiple parents then return the first parent.

hqueue.server.submitJobs(job_specs)

Submit jobs to the HQueue server.

Return a sequence of job ids for the new job(s) or None if the submission failed.

job_specs can either be a dictionary representing a single job specification or a tuple/list of dictionary objects representing multiple job specifications.

hqueue.utils module

This module contains miscellaneous utility functions pertaining to HQueue.

hqueue.utils.failWithError(msg)

Print the specified message to stderr and then exit the process with a non-zero error code.

hqueue.utils.getJobArgs(args)

Scans the job environment for the given list of arguments and returns a dictionary mapping argument names to their values.

If an argument does not exist in the environment then an error is raised and the job fails.

hqueue.utils.logInfo(msg)

Log the specified message.

hqueue.utils.logWarning(msg)

Log the specified warning message.

hqueue.utils.replaceWithHQROOT(file_path)

Replace the beginning of the given path with $HQROOT.

If the path is not under HQ’s shared network file system return the original path.

hqueue.utils.setPreservedEnvVar(name, value)

Set an environment variable that will be preserved in child jobs.

hqueue.utils.updateJobEnvWithPreservedVars(job_spec)

Update a job spec to set environment variables that are to be preserved.

The variables to preserve are in the HQ_PRESERVE_ENV_VARS environment variable in a comma-separated list, and HQ_PRESERVE_ENV_VARS is not explicitly in this list.
