Refactoring the monofile

[giovtorres]

Problem Statement

The pyslurm.pyx file is quite lengthy and unpleasant to work with. There is a bit of repetition between the various classes that could be abstracted away. There is also an opportunity to use more appropriate data structures.

Potential Solution

Create a module for each class, standardizing on the methods as much as possible between classes.

Action Items

[ ] Identify classes to refactor and move to separate modules
[ ] Decide on a user interface structure
[ ] Create an issue for each class and add to project

Contributing

Wrapping C code is not always straightforward, but you don't need to know Cython or C to contribute. As a Slurm or PySlurm user, you can share feedback on the existing structure of PySlurm and how we can make improvements through this refactoring. The end goal is to have an easy to install, easy to use, fully functional Python client library for Slurm!
