Pyloadl: Python Bindings for IBM LoadLeveler

Below is a PyLoadL example that generates output similar to the LoadLeveler llq command. This is the style I'm aiming the module to achieve, however issues and limitations in my coding my force this to change.

    "I", "P", "ST", "R",
    "CP", "XP", "RP",
    "VP", "C", "X", "RM",
    "V", "CA", "NR", "TX",
    "?", "SX", "H", "D",
    "NQ", "E", "EP",
    "MP" ]

HoldType = ["","H","S","HS"]

jobs_total = 0
jobs_run = 0
jobs_idle = 0
jobs_pending = 0

   exit(-1)

job, num, err = ll_get_objs(query, LL_CM, "")

if num > 0:

   print "Id                        Owner      Submitted   ST PRI Class        Running On"
   print "------------------------- ---------- ----------- -- --- ------------ -------------"

ll_free_objs(job)
ll_deallocate(query)

   print "%d job step(s) in queue, %d waiting, %d pending, %d running, %d held, %d preempted" % \
