the py.py file

Asked by Prudhvi Bhattiprolu

Dear Madgraph team,

What is the "py.py file" used for? ,which is generated every time I run Madgraph. Is it okay to run many madgraph input scripts (with Madgraph commands for different processes) in the same directory at the same time, since each Madgraph run would simultaneously create its own "py.py" file replacing the "py.py" file created for different run.

Thanks

Cheers,
Prudhvi

Hi,

This is a file generated by lex/yacc python module.
So this is not a file that the MG5aMC team has control on.
However this file should not depend of the process but rather on how a UFO model is converted from Python to Fortran/C++
Since we are not directly responsible for that file, I can not be very precise on the possible issue of running multiple process simultaneously linked to that specific issue. I can however confirm that no one ever reported an error related to this py.py preventing the use of multiple simultaneous call to the ./bin/mg5_aMC executables.

Cheers,

Olivier
