I am trying to write a script that will start an new engine.
Using some code from IPython source I have: [engines.py]
def make_engine():
from IPython.parallel.apps import ipengineapp as app
app.launch_new_instance()
if __name__ == '__main__':
make_engine(file='./profiles/security/ipcontroller-engine.json', config='./profiles/e2.py')
if I run this with python engines.py
in the command line I run into a configuration problem and my traceback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "engines.py", line 30, in <module>
make_engine(file='./profiles/security/ipcontroller-engine.json', config='./profiles/e2.py')
File "engines.py", line 20, in make_engine
app.launch_new_instance(**kwargs)
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/application.py", line 562, in launch_instance
app = cls.instance(**kwargs)
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/configurable.py", line 354, in instance
inst = cls(*args, **kwargs)
File "<string>", line 2, in __init__
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/application.py", line 94, in catch_config_error
app.print_help()
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/application.py", line 346, in print_help
self.print_options()
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/application.py", line 317, in print_options
self.print_alias_help()
File "/Users/martin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/config/application.py", line 281, in print_alias_help
cls = classdict[classname]
KeyError: 'BaseIPythonApplication'
if I do a super ugly hack like the following, it works:
def make_engine():
from IPython.parallel.apps import ipengineapp as app
app.launch_new_instance()
if __name__ == '__main__':
from sys import argv
argv = ['--file=./profiles/security/ipcontroller-engine.json', '--config=./profiles/e2.py'] #OUCH this is ugly!
make_engine()
Why can't I pass the keyword arguments in the launch_new_instance method?
What are the right keyword arguments?
Where can I get the entry point to entering my configuration options?
Thanks,
Martin
