Create hello world python template

[vineetbansal]

After modifying the hello template to only use bash and getting it to work, we then need to create a working python version of it, (say pyhello), but something that activates a custom environment on the cluster.

import cowsay
cowsay.cow("hello")

For this to work, we need to make conda activate /tigress/LEIFER/path/to/conda/env work (i.e. some shared conda env path that has cowsay preinstalled).

This will be a good issue to tackle before issue #10.

The real validation of this would be if someone other than you (who has read/execute permissions on tigress/LEIFER/path/to/conda/env) can pip install wbi and run wbi remote pyhello, and it "just works".

Created a working python version of the hello template - pyhello. Simultaneously created a similar pyhello command.

• Created a conda environment inside the tigress/LEIFER/communalCode directory using the tigress/LEIFER/communalCode/wbi prefix
• Installed the cowsay package inside the conda environment
• Loaded the /anaconda3/2023.9 module by module load anaconda3/2023.9
• Activated the conda environment by conda activate /tigress/LEIFER/communalCode/wib
• Successfully ran the python interpreter using python -c "import socket; import cowsay; cowsay.cow('Hello ' + socket.gethostname());"

Great..I'd be interested to try this out if you can open a PR.

I don't think we should add a pyhello command though, unless you meant a wbi remote pyhello. The latter may work automatically if the template is found (I forgot how we programmed this) and we may not need to do anything.

I created both wbi remote pyhello and wbi pyhello. I removed the pyhello command now and opened a Pull Request.
