toil.lib.misc.get_public_ip()

Get the IP that this machine uses to contact the internet.

If behind a NAT, this will still be this computer’s IP, and not the router’s.

Return type

str

toil.lib.misc.get_user_name()

Get the current user name, or a suitable substitute string if the user name is not available.

Return type

str

toil.lib.misc.utc_now()

Return a datetime in the UTC timezone corresponding to right now.

Return type

datetime.datetime

toil.lib.misc.unix_now_ms()

Return the current time in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Return type

float

toil.lib.misc.slow_down(seconds)

Toil jobs that have completed are not allowed to have taken 0 seconds, but Kubernetes timestamps round things to the nearest second. It is possible in some batch systems for a pod to have identical start and end timestamps.

This function takes a possibly 0 job length in seconds and enforces a minimum length to satisfy Toil.

Parameters

seconds (float) – Timestamp difference

Returns

seconds, or a small positive number if seconds is 0

Return type

float

toil.lib.misc.printq(msg, quiet)

Parameters

• msg (str) –

• quiet (bool) –

Return type

None

toil.lib.misc.truncExpBackoff()

Return type

Version of CalledProcessError that include stderr in the error message if it is set

__str__()

Return str(self).

Return type

str

toil.lib.misc.call_command(cmd, *args, input=None, timeout=None, useCLocale=True, env=None, quiet=False)

Simplified calling of external commands.

If the process fails, CalledProcessErrorStderr is raised.

The captured stderr is always printed, regardless of if an exception occurs, so it can be logged.

Always logs the command at debug log level.

Parameters

• quiet (Optional[bool]) – If True, do not log the command output. If False (the default), do log the command output at debug log level.

• useCLocale (bool) – If True, C locale is forced, to prevent failures that can occur in some batch systems when using UTF-8 locale.

• cmd (List[str]) –

• args (str) –

• input (Optional[str]) –

• timeout (Optional[float]) –

• env (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) –

Returns

Command standard output, decoded as utf-8.

Return type

str
