Hi, I have a command which produces output like the following:
Job ID: 9431211 Cluster: curta User/Group: build/staff State: COMPLETED (exit code 0) Nodes: 1 Cores per node: 8 CPU Utilized: 01:30:53 CPU Efficiency: 83.63% of 01:48:40 core-walltime Job Wall-clock time: 00:13:35 Memory Utilized: 6.45 GB Memory Efficiency: 80.68% of 8.00 GB I want to parse this and am using subprocess.Popen and accessing the contents via Popen.stdout. However, for testing purposes I want to save various possible outputs of the command as text files and use those as inputs. What format should I use to pass data to the actual parsing function? I could in both production and test convert the entire input to a string and pass the string to the parsing method. However, I could use something like test_input_01 = subprocess.Popen( ["cat test_input_01.txt"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, ) for the test input and then pass a Popen object to the parsing function. Any comments on these alternative or suggestions for doing something completely different?
