Simple tools for system administration tasks
Project description
Documentation: http://sy.afajl.com
Source: http://github.com/afajl/sy
This library is a set of easy to use modules to help with automation of system administration tasks:
import sy.path, sy.net.intf, sy.net.ip, sy.cmd
# Replace lines in '/etc/hosts' that match nis.*
sy.path.replace_lines('/etc/hosts', 'nis.*', '10.2.3.1 ldap')
1
# Fetch information about the interface hme0
hme0 = sy.net.intf.get('hme0')
# Get the IP of hme0
hme0.ipaddress
'192.168.2.2'
# Check if hme0 is up
hme0.is_up
True
# Find files named '*.pl' but time out after 10 seconds
out, err = sy.cmd.do('find /mnt -name {}', '*.pl', timeout=10)
# Check if port 22 is answering on bart
if not sy.net.ip.port_is_open('bart', 22):
sy.log.warning('Ssh is down on bart')
The library is heavily inspired by Werkzeug which is a great WSGI utility collection.
Developing
The repository path for sy is located at http://github.com/afajl/sy. Clone with git by typing:
$ git clone http://github.com/afajl/sy.git
The requirements for developing are listed in dev-reqs.pip that can be install with pip with:
$ pip install -r dev-reqs.pip
The library currently targets python 2.4.4 - 2.6.
Testing
To run the test suite use nose:
$ nosetests -a '!host' tests
The !host parameter tells the suite to not run tests that change the hosts configuration (like reconfiguring network interfaces).
There currently isn’t any automated way to run the testsuite on virtual machines. This feature is greatly needed to be able to test all parts of the library and to test it on different versions and operating systems.
Documentation
The documentation is built with sphinx and is locate under the docs folder.
