Run Dismod Commands

To run dismod commands on a database (all possible options are here), you can use the following helper functions. They will figure out where your dmdismod executable is, whether it be installed on your computer or pulling from docker, based on the installation of cascade_at_scripts.

cascade_at.dismod.api.run_dismod.run_dismod(dm_file, command)

Executes a command on a dismod file.

Parameters

• dm_file (str) – the dismod db filepath

• command (str) – a command to run

cascade_at.dismod.api.run_dismod.run_dismod_commands(dm_file, commands, sys_exit=True)

Runs multiple commands on a dismod file and returns the exit statuses. Will raise an exception if it runs into an error.

Parameters

• dm_file (str) – the dismod db filepath

• commands (List[str]) – a list of strings

• sys_exit – whether to exit the code altogether if there is an error. If False, then it will pass the error string back to the original python process.
