Node in Nodes collection do not report a MIXED state, only IDLE or ALLOCATED

I used the collection to load all nodes, and then I print out the state of all of them. They are all either IDLE, ALLOCATED, or some form of DOWN/DRAIN...but no MIXED. Inspecting particular nodes that I know are mixed (via scontrol show node) shows that if a node is MIXED (so even 1 cpu in use, out of 48), then it will appear as ALLOCATED via pyslurm.

I think we can work around this by comparing total cpus and allocated cpus. But I'm just wondering if this simplification is intentional or if I'm missing something.

Thanks!

mh, that is weird. Because I'm using the exact same function that scontrol is also using, and they just print the result of that function out.
I'll have to test that out on my Cluster.

@robgics

also found the error in this case - will make the fix tomorrow together with #315.
Thank you for spotting all the bugs :)

Heh, that's been the easy part for me. It's been being SURE it's a bug and not just a mistake I'm making that's been the hard part. Thanks for being so responsive. You fixed those bugs before I was able to make a dent in understanding the deeper workings of pyslurm.

Alright, fixed now in main, same with #315

Looks like it's working great, thanks!
