LGI Notes

At BiG Grid, we're working on the Leiden Grid Infrastructure. For our internal use, it was useful to have a common scratch space for open items and notes. That's here.

Python Bindings

The official LGI distribution contains a single LGI class for Python clients. This has been rewritten and expanded, including the ability to write Python resources, in the LGIportal LGI module.

It would be useful to have a self-contained Python module, and upload it to the Python Package Index, which is the standard place for Python packages. And distribution packages can easily be made from those. Work has begun on this Python package, but a few things are still needed:

• Check for changes in currently used Python modules in the LGIpilot tree.
• Synchronise the API for the Python and PHP implementations (Java?) (see here). The R package is significantly different that it does not need to be considered, neither the C++ implementation.
