I've been scripting with the Linode API a lot for my employer
Exosite, and although
tjfontaine's linode-python package does a great job of transliterating the API spec into Python territory, I've been longing for the object-orientedness of something like
Fog. That's why I wrote
Chube!
It adds an abstraction layer on top of tjfontaine's bindings, and also gives you a nifty little command-line app called
chuber.py that lets you mess with the API objects in a Python interpreter.
I think the best way to show you how it works is with an example
chuber.py session:
Code:
you@localhost:~$ chuber
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
>>> Linode.search()
[<Linode api_id=13971, label='foo-01'>, <Linode api_id=20401, label='bar-04'>, <Linode api_id=13972, label='foo-02'>]
>>>
>>> nodes = Linode.search(label_begins='foo-')
[<Linode api_id=13971, label='foo-01'>, <Linode api_id=13972, label='foo-02'>]
>>>
>>> for node in nodes:
... print node.ipaddresses[0].address
...
192.168.13.148
192.168.8.218
>>>
>>> plan = Plan.find(label="Linode 1024")
>>> plan
<Plan label='Linode 1024'>
>>> datacenter = Datacenter.find(location_begins="dallas")
>>> datacenter
<Datacenter location='Dallas, TX, USA'>
>>>
>>> new_node = Linode.create(plan=plan, datacenter=datacenter, payment_term=1)
>>> new_node
<Linode api_id=345768, label='linode345768'>
>>> new_node.label = "web-14"
>>> new_node.save()
>>> Linode.find(label="web-14")
<Linode api_id=345768, label='web-14'>
>>>
>>> distro = Distribution.find(label="Debian 7")
>>> disk = new_node.create_disk(distribution=distro, label="foo_disk", size=2000, root_pass="secret123")
>>> new_node.pending_jobs
[<Job api_id=12310126, label='Disk Create From Distribution - Debian 7'>, <Job api_id=12310127, label='Linode Initial Configuration'>]
>>> new_node.pending_jobs[0].wait()
>>>
>>> job = new_node.boot()
>>> job.wait()
>>>
>>> new_node.destroy()
You can install it with
Code:
pip install chube
And there's a
to-do list.
Play around with it, let me know what you think, and fork the crap out of it!
