mdtest_wrapper.py README
========================

mdtest_wrapper.py is a wrapper for mdtest that inserts the results into
a database.

--------------
Prerequisites:
--------------

Python 2.3.4 or higher
setuptools (Python module installer)
MySQLdb or pymysql (two different Python modules for MySQL)


-------------
Installation:
-------------

---setuptools---

This is available http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools.  Installing 
from source is probably the least hassle.  

Unzip and untar the package
Change directories to the top level directory for setuptools
Run:	python setup.py build
Run:	python setup.py install --prefix=/some/install/directory
	NOTE: --prefix arg is only necessary if you do not have
	root permissions or you want to install the module into
	some non-default directory
If you designated some non-default install location, then add that
	directory to PYTHONPATH


---MySQLdb---

This is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/.
Installing this module proceeds in the same manner as setuptools.


------
Usage:
------

python mdtest_wrapper.py mpirun [mpirun args] ./mdtest [mdtest args] [--desc descriptionOfTest]

NOTE: mdtest needs to be compiled before running mdtest_wrapper.
