build_software_cache(sw_dir=None, dep_names=None)

Builds up the software cache directory at sw_dir by simply copying all required python modules identified by dep_names, defaulting to a predefined list of package names. sw_dir is evaluated with get_sw_dir().

remove_software_cache(sw_dir=None)

Removes the software cache directory at sw_dir which is evaluated with get_sw_dir().

reload_dependencies(force=False, dep_names=None)

Reloads all python modules that law depends on, idenfied by dep_names and defaulting to a predefined list of package names. Unless force is True, multiple calls to this function will not have any effect.

use_software_cache(sw_dir=None, reload_deps=False)

Adjusts sys.path so that the cached software at sw_dir is used. sw_dir is evaluated with get_sw_dir(). When reload_deps is True, reload_dependencies() is invoked.

get_sw_dir(sw_dir=None)

Returns the software directory defined in the core.software_dir config. When sw_dir is not None, it is expanded and returned instead.
