pyworkflow.utils.utils module

class pyworkflow.utils.utils.Environ

Bases: dict

Some utilities to handle environment settings.

BEGIN = 1

END = 2

REPLACE = 0

addLibrary(libraryPath, position=1)

Adds a path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the requested position if the provided paths exist.

getFirst(keys, mandatory=False)

Return the value of the first key present in the environment. If none is found, returns the ‘defaultValue’ parameter.

getPrepend()

Return if there is any prepend value. See setPrepend function.

set(varName, varValue, position=0)

Modify the value for some variable.

Parameters

• varName – for example LD_LIBRARY_PATH

• varValue – the value to set, prefix or suffix.

• position – controls how the value will be changed. If REPLACE, it will overwrite the value of the var. BEGIN or END will preserve the current value and will add, at the beginning or end, the new value.

setPrepend(prepend)

Use this method to set a prepend string that will be added at the beginning of any command that will be run in this environment. This can be useful for example when ‘modules’ need to be loaded and a simple environment variables setup is not enough.
