Puppet like syntax for python

Anyone know of any good ways to do puppet like pp files for python. Almost like开发者_StackOverflow社区 config files that can inherit other configs files and also have limited logic in them like if statements and variables?

Thanks!

Kokki is an interesting project which attempts to be Chef / Puppet but for Python. It looks a little immature to use in production, but if you're looking for a Python-based configuration management system and don't want to use something more well established (and heavy-handed) like Bcfg2, I'd go with Kokki.

Consider using Python, with in-house rules limiting what can appear in a config file.

The advantages are that no one has to learn another language, it's really, really cheap to implement, and you don't have to worry about maintenance of the config parser. The disadvantages are that it's not a custom-designed language for your particular use-case, and that if you're not strict in limiting what syntax may be used you'll end up with mushrooming complexity in your config files.

This is a pretty good list of open source configuration management tools. Good Python implementations include Synctool, Salt, Pacha, and Bcfg2.
