Hello, so here is a new module proposal.

This is a module to handle (get, set, list...) parameters in configuration
files.

It relies on augeas (http://augeas.net/).

I wanted to post later,
because in comparison with augeas.py I didn't make the move and insert
methods,
because I have improvements in mind,
and because I want to add more behaviour consistency with augtool of Augeas.

But I will not have time for this before Christmas, and the module is
working fine as-is.

A quick example:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import func.overlord.client as fc
c = fc.Client("*")
print 'Set PermitRootLogin to no in sshd_config'
print c.confmgt_augeas.set('/etc/ssh/sshd_config','PermitRootLogin','no')

(which does what is expected, of course)

In attachment you'll find:
- the module
- a test script I use to check the behaviour of the module
- the result of this test script on my test platform
  (so you can see what the module does)
- a minimal doc. inspired from the quick tour on the augeas web site

Let me know if you think it is useful.
