[GE users] Re: [drmaa-wg] Re: [GE users] python DRMAA module

[Daniel Templeton]

Rayson,

The reason I suggest putting it in the source tree is so that it can be
updated easily.  Storing it anywhere as a tarball invites versioning
problems.  The Java language binding is also used by other DRMs, but
it's in our source tree as well.

Here's a question, though.  Will the Perl & Python modules run
unmodified on other DRMAA C binding implementations?  I suspect that
there will at least be some minor tweaks required to make them work. 
With that in mind, it makes sense to host the source in the SGE source
tree, and the binaries as downloads from the websites of their
respective DRMs, such as the downloads area of gridengine.sunsource.net.
