command line tool for working with singularity hub and singularity containers

Singularity Python

Singularity Python is a python module and command line tool for working with Singularity containers, specifically providing functions to visualize, package, and compare containers. Currently, most functions use Singularity on the command line, and some require sudo.

We currently require Python > version 3 to use various timezone functions. If you are unable to install version 3.0, we provide a Singularity.container for you to use instead. This is the recommended approach as some older versions of Python do not support generation of the timestamp. See the installation docs for your different options.

The Singularity-Python code is licensed under the MIT open source license, which is a highly permissive license that places few limits upon reuse. This ensures that the code will be usable by the greatest number of researchers, in both academia and industry. The following examples are provided:
