PM - Check if run exists in Swestore about taca HOT 3 CLOSED

@guillermo-carrasco : I have always wondered about this, would something like this work ?

def is_in_swestore(run_name,ext="tar.bz2"):
    cmd = ['ils', '{}.{}'.format(run_name,ext)]
    called = subprocess.Popen(cmd,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    out,err = called.communicate()
    if out:
        return True
    else:
        return False

yeah that would do the work. However instead of checking explicitely, I would just examine the output and if the status is -312000, then say the the run is already in swestore and skip it.

But yeah your solution would work perfectly fine as well.

what you suggest is even simpler 😂
