Python script for automating madgraph runs.

Hi,

Did you do the following?

generate p p > t t~
output
launch
set mt scan:[10**i for i in range(1,100,5)]

after the "scan:" you can basically put ANY --oneline-- python syntax (which returns a list)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

I did try this after you suggested it, but I am more interested in doing something similar to the person in : https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+question/404555

But when I try to import madevent_interface, it says that there is no such module. Is there something special I need to do to make this work? also, is there documentation for the existing commands you can do for madgraph using python? Like the one you mentioned in the forum post: "param_card[block].param_dict[lhaid].value = value"?

Best regards

Well this is not a method of interface that we support in any way.
Those are PRIVATE API and not public API. As everywhere private API are not documented
(you have the automatic documentation but that's it) and we do not support such use.
Actually my comments on the above trhead is not true anymore.

Now I would be interested to know what will be your interest in such type of interface.
(We also have the PLUGIN mode if you need to change the interface actually)

This means that you do not import it correctly (did you set your PYTHONPATH correctly?)

Except the automatic documentation in the epydoc directory. No.
This is not suppose to be something used by normal user of the code.

Cheers,
