staging — Staging of input/output files on a queuing system

The staging module provides a framework to run python scripts easily through a queuing system that requires copying of files to the scratch directory on compute nodes (“staging”). Instead of submitting a shell script to the queuing system, one uses a python script that imports the module and instantiates a Job class that contains methods to manage staging.
