BioSimSpace.Gateway.Time¶

class BioSimSpace.Gateway.Time(help=None, default=None, unit=None, minimum=None, maximum=None, allowed=None)[source]¶

A time requirement.

Examples

Create a time requirement with a default of 35 minutes.

>>> import BioSimSpace as BSS
>>> my_time = BSS.Gateway.Time(help="A time requirement", default=35, unit="minutes")

The same, but explicitly passing a Time for the default.

>>> import BioSimSpace as BSS
>>> my_time = BSS.Gateway.Time(help="A time requirement", default=35*BSS.Units.Time.minute)

Create a time requirement with a default of 35 minutes and a maximum of 5 hours. Note that the unit is taken from the default value.

>>> import BioSimSpace as BSS
>>> my_time = BSS.Gateway.Time(help="A time requirement",
...                            default=35*BSS.Units.Time.minute,
...                            maximum=5*BSS.Units.Time.hour)
