This is what I ended up with using xml-rpc....
#!/usr/bin/python
from xmlrpclib import *
# constants for testing
system_name="testing"
intf="eth1"
# standard XML-RPC proxy
conn = ServerProxy("http://localhost/cobbler_api";)
# athenticate with cobbler (requires authn-testing to work)
token = conn.login("testing","testing")
# Check for systems and create if it doesn't exist
try:
sys_id = conn.get_system_handle(system_name, token)
except Fault, reason:
if reason.faultCode == 1:
sys_id = conn.new_system(token)
pass
else:
raise
conn.modify_system(sys_id, "profile", "default", token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, "name", system_name, token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, "gateway", "192.168.69.1", token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, 'modify_interface', {
"macaddress-%s" % intf : "AA:BB:CC:EE:EE:EE",
"ipaddress-%s" % intf : "192.168.10.50",
"gateway-%s" % intf : "192.168.10.1",
"dnsname-%s" % intf : "foo.example.com",
"static-%s" % intf : True,
"dhcptag-%s" % intf : "section2",
"staticroutes-%s" % intf : "a:b:c d:e:f"
}, token)
conn.save_system(sys_id, token)
