PyModules is an alternative implementation of the Environment Modules system for managing software environments on research computing clusters. It provides several new features:

  • Uses simple, INI-style configuration files that share common values across multiple versions of a package.
  • Module configuations are cached in a SQLite database, and editing/publishing are separate actions.
  • Modules can be categorized. The module avail command lists by category or by fulltext search on the package name or version.
  • Modules can be localized by CPU architecture, for either a specific vendor (AMD vs. Intel), SSE instruction set, or CPU model identifier.
  • New module bin command lists all binaries provided by a module.

PyModules is developed by the Center for Computation and Visualization at Brown University, and distributed freely for academic use under a non-commercial license (see the LICENSE file for full details).

Installation

Zip archives are available from the downloads page, or you can clone the Bitbucket repo for the latest development version.
