fabpup

A simple library to access the Puppet REST API with Fabric

Fabpup consists of a single py file that you "include" in your fabfile.py and gives you a simple way to set Fabric's env.hosts lists with a list of hosts from Puppet based on a dictionary of facts to match on.

Usage:

import fabpup

# settings - see fabpup.py for available settings
fabpup['host'] = 'puppet.example.com'   # your puppetmaster host

# create a dict with facts to match on
myfacts = {'facts.operatingsystem':'CentOS',
           'facts.lsbdistrelease':'6.2'
	         }

# return a list of hosts for Fabric
env.hosts = get_hosts_by_facts(myfacts)

Dependencies

• Python 2.6 (has not been tested on anything but 2.6).
• "Requests: HTTP for Humans" module: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html

Notes:

Yes, not much to it. It only has support for the "facts_search" feature of the Puppet REST API, but I have plans to add everything else. Please fork if you're interested in helping out.
