A Python script would not be able to call into the libraries that Whimsy has. Depending on the use case, that may not be important. My biggest concern is "number of people willing to maintain the tool". Meanwhile, here is what is installed on whimsy-vm4 at the moment: rubys@whimsy-vm4:~$ python --version Python 2.7.12 rubys@whimsy-vm4:~$ python3 --version Python 3.5.2 rubys@whimsy-vm4:~$ which python /usr/bin/python rubys@whimsy-vm4:~$ which python3 /usr/bin/python3 We haven't cut over to whimsy-vm5 yet, but it has 2.7.17 and 3.6.9 installed. Python prides itself on being a "batteries included" language, so that may be enough, but if you need pip modules installed, that can be done too. Example: https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet/blob/ccd586890b333b100f1eb55579bdd015f353bac4/modules/whimsy_server/manifests/init.pp#L56 Also, if what you are doing is producing JSON that would be consumed by another tool, that code could literally run anywhere, with consumers of the data getting it via http fetch. - Sam Ruby > On Fri, 1 May 2020 at 14:45, Dave Fisher <w...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > Hi - > > > > I’ve started investigating providing project information for whimsy based > > on clutch2.py from the incubator in these two categories: > > > > (1) Releases.
