ecFlow's documentation is now on readthedocs!

ecFlow provides a python API. This allows:

  • complete specification of the suite definition, including trigger and time dependencies
  • full access to the command level interface(CLI)

Since the full power of python is available to specify the suite definition, there is considerable flexibility. The API is documented using the python _doc_ facility.

PYTHONPATH

Before the ecFlow Python API can be used you need to set some variables

PYTHONPATH must be set to include the directory where the file 'ecflow.so' has been installed
