yum install python2-distroinfo

pip install distroinfo

Usage

You can fetch info files from an URL by specifying remote_info base URL:

from distroinfo.info import DistroInfo

RDOINFO_RAW_URL = \
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redhat-openstack/rdoinfo/master/'

di = DistroInfo('rdo-full.yml',
                remote_info=RDOINFO_RAW_URL)
info = di.get_info()

Or you can fetch info files from a remote git repository using remote_git_info:

from distroinfo.info import DistroInfo

RDOINFO_GIT_URL = \
    'https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdoinfo'

di = DistroInfo('rdo-full.yml',
                remote_git_info=RDOINFO_GIT_URL)
info = di.get_info()

Or you can fetch info files from a local directory using local_info:

from distroinfo.info import DistroInfo

INFO_PATH = '/path/to/info'

di = DistroInfo('rdo-full.yml',
                local_info=INFO_PATH)
info = di.get_info()

For remote fetchers info files/repos are cached in ~/.distroinfo/cache.

You can navigate info structure yourself or use query module:

from distroinfo import query

# get a package info by strict package name
nova = query.get_package(info, 'openstack-nova')

# find a package by human reference (smart search)
keystone = query.find_package(info, 'keystone')

Alternatively, you can get info with packages and releases as dictionaries indexed by project/release name for easier access using info_dicts=True:

info = di.get_info(info_dicts=True)
nova = info['packages']['nova']

It is also possible to filter packages matching a given criteria. The following query will show all packages matching criteria conf: client AND tags: antelope.

::

# rexen is a dictionary of applied filters. # pkg is the currently processed package. info = di.get_info() pkgs = info[‘packages’] rexen = {“conf”: “client”, “tags”: “antelope”}

finding = query.filter_pkgs(pkgs, rexen)

It is also possible to apply negative filtering with “~” character, which can be combined with other filters, like conf: client.

::

info = di.get_info() pkgs = info[‘packages’] rexen = {“tags”: “~newton”, “conf”: “client”} finding = query.filter_pkgs(pkgs, rexen)

When using this feature, the output will contain packages WITHOUT newton tag but containing conf:client.

Until proper documentation is in place, please refer to:

• rdoinfo for prime example of distroinfo format usage

• rdoinfo integration tests for code examples

• dlrn.drivers.rdoinfo for a real world code that uses tags and remote_git_info/local_info

• distroinfo.info to RTFS

Command Line Interface

A simple CLI is provided in scripts/di.py which can be used to test basic distroinfo functionality, profile, dump parsed data, etc.

An example of dumping parsed rdoinfo into both YAML and JSON files:

$> ./scripts/di.py dump -y rdoinfo.yaml -j rdoinfo.json -f git \
       'https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdoinfo' rdo-full.yml

Dumping YAML to: rdoinfo.yaml
Dumping JSON to: rdoinfo.json

Additional docopt module is required to run the CLI.
