ANN Jug 2.0.0 release candidate!

[Luis Pedro Coelho]

Hi everyone,

I finally got around to cleaning up a bit the code and preparing Jug 2.0

The big change, which merits increasing the version, are the failed tasks framework implemented by Renato Alves.

Now, if you use jug execute --keep-failed, tasks which raise exceptions will not be repeatedly attempted.

Additionally, now environmental variables JUG_* are checked by default and creating a file named __jug_please_stop.txt will stop execution: https://jug.readthedocs.io/en/latest/exit.html

Since there is a bunch of new stuff, I marked it as a release candidate:

https://pypi.org/project/Jug/2.0.0rc0/

You can install it with

pip install Jug==2.0.0rc0

If I don't get any reports of bugs, I will release it officially next week. I will also be playing around with it.

WHAT IS JUG?

Jug allows you to write code that is broken up into tasks and run
different tasks on different processors (even across a cluster).

Jug is a pure Python implementation and should work on any platform.

Given that no issues popped up (and i have personally been using the release candidate for a few weeks with no problems), I renamed it to Jug 2.0!

Now, if you install from either conda or pip, you get the new 2.0!

Hope this helps,

Luis
