Add option to cleanup pyflow.data directory after successful run completion

[isthisthat]

Hello, I'm trying to intall pyflow in my python 2.7.5 installation, using the command:

pip install pyflow

I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named ez_setup

Should this be a dependency?

Thanks a lot, Stathis

pip is trying to download and install a different pyflow from some library database. If you'd like to use the installer for pyflow, try:

python setup.py build install

...will note this in the README

Hi Chris, Thanks for this. I just wrote my first script in pyflow and I'm very pleased. Fantastic piece of code. A quick question: is there a way to clean-up the pyflow.data folder after my workflow successfully completes? (or a good reason not to do so?). Addint the task "rm -rf pyflow.data" did not seem to do it.. Thanks, Stathis

Thanks Stathis,

Good question – so far I’ve treated any cleanup as a client responsibility, just because the pyflow directory can be useful for any post-run analysis of problems. It seems reasonable to support a runtime option which would remove the directory after successful workflow completion – ideally default behavior would stay the same.
