Jobs are getting lost in ParallelPython?

I am submitting about 234 jobs (but my example contains only 50 for demonstration purpose) to my 20 node cluster using ParallelPython. I was expecting that it would queue and execute them but it seems to "lose" jobs and I am not understand where things are going wrong. When the script finishes, I am not able to see 50 files i.e. info_1, info_2 .... info_50 but rather I am seeing some random behavior. Any suggestions?

def readChecklist():
    f = open('/home/username/twisted/pp-1.6.0/checklist', 'r')
    checklist = [line.strip() for line in f]
    return checklist

def processFile(num):
    bl = readChecklist()

    # pick a filename to write to
    outfile = "info_" + str(num)
    FILE = open(outfile, "a")

    for i in range(num):
        FILE.write(str(i)+"\n")
        FILE.flush()
    FILE.close()
    return num

ppservers=("*",)

job_server = pp.Server(ppservers=ppservers)

inputs = range(50)
jobs = [(input, job_server.submit(processFile,(input,), (readCheckList,), ("os","math","time","sys","subprocess",))) for input in inputs]
for input, job in job开发者_运维技巧s:
    print "Job: ", input, " is", job() 

job_server.print_stats()

Output:

Ok my mistake! Just in case anyone else faces this issue, make sure your directory paths are absolute whether you are reading from a file or writing into a file... 5 hours of debugging :( but I learnt my lesson :)
