It provides both a Python library and a command-line interface to extract information about nodes, GPUs, CPUs, memory, and job configurations from Slurm-managed clusters. The library can be imported for scripted cluster introspection, while the CLI (`cscope`) offers immediate access to common queries like node resource counts, GPU availability, and AWS environment checks.\n\nThe package is lightweight, depending only on click for CLI scaffolding, and targets modern Python (>=3.10). It is actively maintained by Facebook Research and suitable for automation, monitoring integration, and cluster capacity planning workflows where you need to query live cluster state without writing raw Slurm commands.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you manage or work with Slurm-based HPC clusters and need programmatic access to cluster metadata. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and clean API make it a practical choice for cluster automation and job submission workflows. Not applicable if your cluster uses a different scheduler or if you only need occasional manual cluster queries."},"id":"clusterscope","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clusterscope","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clusterscope.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clusterscope/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clusterscope","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Clusterscope is a CLI and python library to extract information from HPC Clusters and Jobs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":165008,"position":10532,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.32"}
