Batchspawner 0.8 released

[Michael Milligan]

Batchspawner is a Jupyterhub spawner extension that integrates with cluster job managers such as commonly found in HPC computing centers. After a long period of percolation, version 0.8 has been officially released.

This version includes support for Torque, Slurm, LSF, Moab, Condor, and Grid Engine. Downloads and full changelog available here:

Starting with this release, Batchspawner is available on PyPI and can be installed with

    pip install batchspawner

We understand that your local supercomputer admins may not have time to deploy the latest versions of everything, so Batchspawner is tested against Python 3.3 through 3.6, and Jupyterhub 0.5 through master.

Please note that since our last release, WrapSpawner and ProfilesSpawner (which allow dynamic selection of spawner parameters) have been split out into a separate project:

Thanks,
