MetaPy

Python package to manage the Java Server and automated wrapping functions required for metamodel-driven APIs like MCNPy and Serpy.

Usage

On its own, this package does very little. It manages basic utilities required for other packages. Thus, you will likely never invoke it directly.

Dependencies

• py4j.
• psutil
• Java 8
• Everything else should come with a standard Python install

How to Install

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.rpi.edu/NuCoMP/metapy.git.
2. Ensure you are running the desired Python environment.
   • Try conda activate ENV_NAME to switch.
3. Run pip install /path/to/cloned/repo/dist/metapy-X.whl where X is the version.
   • All dependencies except Java will be downloaded if needed.
4. Done!

Building a New Wheel

1. Use pip uninstall metapy to uninstall current version.
2. Run python /path/to/cloned/repo/setup.py to build the wheel.

Updating the Java Server

After any changes to the EntryPoint.java source file, you must recompile the Java server. From within /path/to/cloned/repo/metapy, run:

• bash compile.sh(Linux)
• compile.bat (Windows)
