Python based suite definition
/////////////////////////////////////
ecFlow provides a :ref:`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.
.. warning::
Before the :ref:`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
