Example

from pbspy import Job, JobDescription

# Run a job with some explicit parameters
job_a = (
    JobDescription(name="job_a", ncpus=4, mem="192GB", walltime="00:05:00")
    .add_command(["echo", "A"])
    .submit()
)

# Submit another job that waits for job_a to finish
job_b = (
    JobDescription(name="job_b", ncpus=1, walltime="00:05:00", afterok=[job_a])
    .add_command(["echo", "B"])
    .submit()
)

# Get the result of the jobs
# result_a = job_a.result() # wait for job_a to finish and get result
(result_a, result_b) = Job.result_all(
    [job_a, job_b]
)  # wait for job_a and job_b to finish and get results
print("job_a:", result_a.output.strip())
print("job_b:", result_b.output.strip())

Output (partially executed):
