Incorrect data type reading, e.g. ssh_timeout "10.0" is string, not float in PY2 #749

Closed lee212 closed 4 years ago

lee212 commented 5 years ago

src/radical/saga/configs/utils.json has configuration values e.g. ssh_timeout with quotes that saga in python2 treats these values as a string, not numerical values. This is not an issue in python3 as to_type function finds correct data types according to radical-cybertools/radical.utils/pull/187.

Do we need to_type in py2 branch as well?

The type conversion was introduced with the new config system which folds environment vars into config files. That's what you see in that config file, so we do use that in Py2 indeed, and thus should indeed also backport the type conversion.

This has been fixed by now - thanks!
