Calculates the critical path in a task network.

Project description

CriticalPath

Build Status

Calculates the critical path through a network of tasks.

Assumes the given graph is acyclic (has no loops).

A task network is composed of nodes, but it's also organized within a parent node. This allows my node/task model to support recursive nesting of tasks. e.g. An overall "project" node containing multiple tasks can be treated as a single task in itself, and therefore included in more abstract task groupings.

Installation

pip install criticalpath

Usage

>>> from criticalpath import Node
>>> p = Node('project')
>>> a = p.add(Node('A', duration=3))
>>> b = p.add(Node('B', duration=3, lag=0))
>>> c = p.add(Node('C', duration=4, lag=0))
>>> d = p.add(Node('D', duration=6, lag=0))
>>> e = p.add(Node('E', duration=5, lag=0))
>>> p.link(a, b).link(a, c).link(a, d).link(b, e).link(c, e).link(d, e)
project
>>> p.update_all()
>>> p.get_critical_path()
[A, D, E]
>>> p.duration

Development

To run unittests across multiple Python versions, install:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev python3.3-minimal python3.3-dev python3.4-minimal python3.4-dev python3.5-minimal python3.5-dev python3.6 python3.6-dev

To run all tests:

export TESTNAME=; tox

To run tests for a specific environment (e.g. Python 2.7):

export TESTNAME=; tox -e py27
