parsl.data_provider.files.File

class parsl.data_provider.files.File(url, dman=None, cache=False, caching_dir='.')

The Parsl File Class.

This class captures various attributes of a file, and relies on client-side and worker-side systems to enable to appropriate transfer of files.

Note that an error will be raised if one tries to create a File without an associated DataManager. That DataManager may be specified explicitly as a parameter to the File constructor, or may be implicitly specified via a previously loaded Parsl config.

A File which is not associated with a DataManager is ill-defined.
