As we are getting closer to 4.1.0 release, I want to take this opportunity to ask people try out cloudmonkey 4.1.0-snapshot [2]. Pl. note that it is not the official release yet but I published this on pypi to encourage everyone to use the latest cloudmonkey, comment/report-bugs before we'll release cloudmonkey along with CloudStack 4.1.0.
Upgrading: pip install --upgrade cloudmonkey Note: The default config path has been changed from ~/.cloudmonkey_config to ~/.cloudmonkey/config and some default params were changed. See the wiki [3] for usage. [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey/4.0.0 [2] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey/4.1.0-snapshot [3] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+cloudmonkey+CLI Regards. Changelog since 4.0.0-7[1]: - Tabular output with filtering (I bet most people would love this) - Better coloring using Pygments using DSL regexes. All ids are underlined with red and uuids with specific colors, for now one can change colors from printer.py, in future we'll have theme support just like in vim/git etc. - Better help docs, the new help docs within cloudmonkey are more verbose than before with information on parameter type, apiname, description. - API Sync: Auto-discovers apis with failsafe precache (the total size of distribution is less than 60kB, was earlier >150kB) - Parsing, shell and pipe fixes - Code rewrite: use of meta-programming using closures on config params, shell and cloudmonkey DSL (grammar, verb, subject, help generation) makes it maintainable. Use unix philosophy that one component/method does only one thing, split components into caching, shell, config, network request and output/printing; For example if we change request url pattern from query to rest, one only needs to change requester.py - Parameter completion (fuzzy, experimental)
