That would be fairly easy to accomplish, you can instantiate a config
parser, make it read the config file you want, and then use the method
get_dicts, that will yield all the dictionaries you need, you just need
to make them to be printed to some file. Well, it'd be something like:
"""
needed imports, yadda yadda...
my_control = open('/path/to/my_control')
parser = kvm_config.Parser()
parser.parse_file('foo.cfg')
for dict in parser.get_dicts(''):
my_control.write("job.run_test(url='kvm', params=%s)" % dict)
"""
Or for that matter call your app running test kvm and passing the
params. Keep in mind this is a rough sketch, hope it passes the idea.
You might maybe introduce some logic in your auto generated control file
to mimic the 'conditional execution' mechanism that we have in the kvm
control file, but for now, a flat list of tests would already help you a
lot I guess...
