serpentTools.seed.seedFiles(inputFile, numSeeds, seed=None, outputDir=None, link=False, length=10)¶

Copy input file multiple times with unique seeds.

Parameters

inputFile (str) – Path to input file
numSeeds (int) – Number of files to create
seed (int) – Optional argument to set the seed of the builtin random number generator
outputDir (str) – Path to desired output directory. Files will be copied here. If the folder does not exist, try to make the directory. Assumes path relative to directory that contains the input file

Raises

OSError: – If the requested input file could not be found and link does not evaluate to true.
ValueError: – If the number of requested seeds is not a positive integer, nor can be converted to one, or if the length of the random seeds cannot be converted to a positive integer.
TypeError: – Raised if the values passed to length or nseeds cannot be converted to integers with int()
