[Pulp-list] Pulp CLI + Reposync Patch

Devan Goodwin dgoodwin at redhat.com

Greetings pulp-list,

Attached is a patch (in mbox format for git-am) introducing the
beginnigs of a pulp CLI and a couple initial commands. It's still rough
around the edges, not using persistent data and not ready for system
installation. 

Command line script is in scripts/ and I've been running it like so:

    (root at elaine)[scripts] # PYTHONPATH=../ ./pulp repo --sync-all

Commands supported:

    pulp repo --list
    pulp repo --sync-all

There's only one repository hard coded currently (packagekit) for
testing purposes.

After running --sync-all you'll have a "utopia" repo in /tmp/repos/.

The generated config.repo file doesn't look right yet and I really don't
know what it should look like yet.

Some questions:

1. How do we want to support persistent storage of these repositories?
(i.e. pulp repo add stores data where?)

2. Does it make sense to have pulp CLI in the same project (or
ultimately RPM) as the pulp TG UI? Wanted to see what people thought of
this before attempting any kind of installation code.

3. Should pulp CLI configuration options (i.e. the REPO_STORAGE_PATH) be
configured in the TG configuration file or a new one that will most
likely end up in /etc?

4. Is the patch in this state suitable for pushing to master so others
can build on it or does some or all of the above need to be addressed
and first and then the whole shebang resubmitted?

Other work assignments now appearing so will have limited time to
address issues in the next little while but will attempt to do so as
much as possible.


Cheers,

Devan

Subject: [PATCH] Added beginnings of the pulp command line interface.

Semi-implemented with hard coded data:

    pulp repo --list
    pulp repo --sync-all

Hard coded repository will be synced to /tmp/repo. Still needs work around persistent storage and adding/removing repositories, configuration, system installation, etc.

+r"""subprocess - Subprocesses with accessible I/O streams
+
+This module allows you to spawn processes, connect to their
+input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.  This module
+intends to replace several other, older modules and functions, like:
+
+os.system
+os.spawn*
+os.popen*
+popen2.*
+commands.*
+
+Information about how the subprocess module can be used to replace these
+modules and functions can be found below.
+
+
+
+Using the subprocess module
+===========================
+This module defines one class called Popen:
+
+class Popen(args, bufsize=0, executable=None,
+            stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None,
+            preexec_fn=None, close_fds=False, shell=False,
+            cwd=None, env=None, universal_newlines=False,
+            startupinfo=None, creationflags=0):
+
+
+Arguments are:
+
+args should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments.  The
+program to execute is normally the first item in the args sequence or
+string, but can be explicitly set by using the executable argument.
+
+On UNIX, with shell=False (default): In this case, the Popen class
+uses os.execvp() to execute the child program.  args should normally
+be a sequence.  A string will be treated as a sequence with the string
+as the only item (the program to execute).
+
+On UNIX, with shell=True: If args is a string, it specifies the
+command string to execute through the shell.  If args is a sequence,
+the first item specifies the command string, and any additional items
+will be treated as additional shell arguments.
+
+On Windows: the Popen class uses CreateProcess() to execute the child
+program, which operates on strings.  If args is a sequence, it will be
+converted to a string using the list2cmdline method.  Please note that
+not all MS Windows applications interpret the command line the same
+way: The list2cmdline is designed for applications using the same
+rules as the MS C runtime.
+
+bufsize, if given, has the same meaning as the corresponding argument
+to the built-in open() function: 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line
+buffered, any other positive value means use a buffer of
+(approximately) that size.  A negative bufsize means to use the system
+default, which usually means fully buffered.  The default value for
+bufsize is 0 (unbuffered).
+
+stdin, stdout and stderr specify the executed programs' standard
+input, standard output and standard error file handles, respectively.
+Valid values are PIPE, an existing file descriptor (a positive
+integer), an existing file object, and None.  PIPE indicates that a
+new pipe to the child should be created.  With None, no redirection
+will occur; the child's file handles will be inherited from the
+parent.  Additionally, stderr can be STDOUT, which indicates that the
+stderr data from the applications should be captured into the same
+file handle as for stdout.
+
+If preexec_fn is set to a callable object, this object will be called
+in the child process just before the child is executed.
+
+If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1 and 2 will be
+closed before the child process is executed.
+
+if shell is true, the specified command will be executed through the
+shell.
+
+If cwd is not None, the current directory will be changed to cwd
+before the child is executed.
+
+If env is not None, it defines the environment variables for the new
+process.
+
+If universal_newlines is true, the file objects stdout and stderr are
+opened as a text files, but lines may be terminated by any of '\n',
+the Unix end-of-line convention, '\r', the Macintosh convention or
+'\r\n', the Windows convention.  All of these external representations
+are seen as '\n' by the Python program.  Note: This feature is only
+available if Python is built with universal newline support (the
+default).  Also, the newlines attribute of the file objects stdout,
+stdin and stderr are not updated by the communicate() method.
+
+The startupinfo and creationflags, if given, will be passed to the
+underlying CreateProcess() function.  They can specify things such as
+appearance of the main window and priority for the new process.
+(Windows only)
+
+
+This module also defines two shortcut functions:
+
+call(*args, **kwargs):
+    Run command with arguments.  Wait for command to complete, then
+    return the returncode attribute.
+
+    The arguments are the same as for the Popen constructor.  Example:
+
+    retcode = call(["ls", "-l"])
+
+
+Exceptions
+----------
+Exceptions raised in the child process, before the new program has
+started to execute, will be re-raised in the parent.  Additionally,
+the exception object will have one extra attribute called
+'child_traceback', which is a string containing traceback information
+from the childs point of view.
+
+The most common exception raised is OSError.  This occurs, for
+example, when trying to execute a non-existent file.  Applications
+should prepare for OSErrors.
+
+A ValueError will be raised if Popen is called with invalid arguments.
+
+
+Security
+--------
+Unlike some other popen functions, this implementation will never call
+/bin/sh implicitly.  This means that all characters, including shell
+metacharacters, can safely be passed to child processes.
+
+
+Popen objects
+=============
+Instances of the Popen class have the following methods:
+
+poll()
+    Check if child process has terminated.  Returns returncode
+    attribute.
+
+wait()
+    Wait for child process to terminate.  Returns returncode attribute.
+
+communicate(input=None)
+    Interact with process: Send data to stdin.  Read data from stdout
+    and stderr, until end-of-file is reached.  Wait for process to
+    terminate.  The optional stdin argument should be a string to be
+    sent to the child process, or None, if no data should be sent to
+    the child.
+
+    communicate() returns a tuple (stdout, stderr).
+
+    Note: The data read is buffered in memory, so do not use this
+    method if the data size is large or unlimited.
+
+The following attributes are also available:
+
+stdin
+    If the stdin argument is PIPE, this attribute is a file object
+    that provides input to the child process.  Otherwise, it is None.
+
+stdout
+    If the stdout argument is PIPE, this attribute is a file object
+    that provides output from the child process.  Otherwise, it is
+    None.
+
+stderr
+    If the stderr argument is PIPE, this attribute is file object that
+    provides error output from the child process.  Otherwise, it is
+    None.
+
+pid
+    The process ID of the child process.
+
+returncode
+    The child return code.  A None value indicates that the process
+    hasn't terminated yet.  A negative value -N indicates that the
+    child was terminated by signal N (UNIX only).
+
+
+Replacing older functions with the subprocess module
+====================================================
+In this section, "a ==> b" means that b can be used as a replacement
+for a.
+
+Note: All functions in this section fail (more or less) silently if
+the executed program cannot be found; this module raises an OSError
+exception.
+
+In the following examples, we assume that the subprocess module is
+imported with "from subprocess import *".
+
+
+Replacing /bin/sh shell backquote
+---------------------------------
+output=`mycmd myarg`
+==>
+output = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]
+
+
+Replacing shell pipe line
+-------------------------
+output=`dmesg | grep hda`
+==>
+p1 = Popen(["dmesg"], stdout=PIPE)
+p2 = Popen(["grep", "hda"], stdin=p1.stdout, stdout=PIPE)
+output = p2.communicate()[0]
+
+
+Replacing os.system()
+---------------------
+sts = os.system("mycmd" + " myarg")
+==>
+p = Popen("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True)
+sts = os.waitpid(p.pid, 0)
+
+Note:
+
+* Calling the program through the shell is usually not required.
+
+* It's easier to look at the returncode attribute than the
+  exitstatus.
+
+A more real-world example would look like this:
+
+try:
+    retcode = call("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True)
+    if retcode < 0:
+        print >>sys.stderr, "Child was terminated by signal", -retcode
+    else:
+        print >>sys.stderr, "Child returned", retcode
+except OSError, e:
+    print >>sys.stderr, "Execution failed:", e
+
+
+Replacing os.spawn*
+-------------------
+P_NOWAIT example:
+
+pid = os.spawnlp(os.P_NOWAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg")
+==>
+pid = Popen(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"]).pid
+
+
+P_WAIT example:
+
+retcode = os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg")
+==>
+retcode = call(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"])
+
+
+Vector example:
+
+os.spawnvp(os.P_NOWAIT, path, args)
+==>
+Popen([path] + args[1:])
+
+
+Environment example:
+
+os.spawnlpe(os.P_NOWAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg", env)
+==>
+Popen(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"], env={"PATH": "/usr/bin"})
+
+
+Replacing os.popen*
+-------------------
+pipe = os.popen(cmd, mode='r', bufsize)
+==>
+pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize, stdout=PIPE).stdout
+
+pipe = os.popen(cmd, mode='w', bufsize)
+==>
+pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize, stdin=PIPE).stdin
+
+
+(child_stdin, child_stdout) = os.popen2(cmd, mode, bufsize)
+==>
+p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
+          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
+(child_stdin, child_stdout) = (p.stdin, p.stdout)
+
+
+(child_stdin,
+ child_stdout,
+ child_stderr) = os.popen3(cmd, mode, bufsize)
+==>
+p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
+          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, close_fds=True)
+(child_stdin,
+ child_stdout,
+ child_stderr) = (p.stdin, p.stdout, p.stderr)
+
+
+(child_stdin, child_stdout_and_stderr) = os.popen4(cmd, mode, bufsize)
+==>
+p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
+          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT, close_fds=True)
+(child_stdin, child_stdout_and_stderr) = (p.stdin, p.stdout)
+
+
+Replacing popen2.*
+------------------
+Note: If the cmd argument to popen2 functions is a string, the command
+is executed through /bin/sh.  If it is a list, the command is directly
+executed.
+
+(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2("somestring", bufsize, mode)
+==>
+p = Popen(["somestring"], shell=True, bufsize=bufsize
+          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
+(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
+
+
+(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize, mode)
+==>
+p = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize=bufsize,
+          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
+(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
+
+The popen2.Popen3 and popen3.Popen4 basically works as subprocess.Popen,
+except that:
+
+* subprocess.Popen raises an exception if the execution fails
+* the capturestderr argument is replaced with the stderr argument.
+* stdin=PIPE and stdout=PIPE must be specified.
+* popen2 closes all filedescriptors by default, but you have to specify
+  close_fds=True with subprocess.Popen.
