aiida.manage.external package#

User facing APIs to control AiiDA from the verdi cli, scripts or plugins

Submodules#

Provides an API for postgres database maintenance tasks.

This API creates and drops postgres users and databases used by the verdi quicksetup commandline tool. It allows convenient access to this functionality from within python without knowing details about how postgres is installed by default on various systems. If the postgres setup is not the default installation, additional information needs to be provided.

Bases: pgsu.PGSU

Example:

postgres = Postgres()
postgres.create_dbuser('username', 'password')
if not postgres.db_exists('dbname'):
    postgres.create_db('username', 'dbname')
__init__(dbinfo=None, **kwargs)[source]#
