Glusto is a framework designed to provide features commonly used in a remote/distributed environment via a single and easy-to-access object.
It started out as a port of some shell ssh functions I had written and was meant for use in PyUnit* tests for Gluster.
Some of the key concepts and features of Glusto:
-
Glusto inherits from multiple classes providing configuration (yaml, json, ini), remote connection (SSH, SCP, RPyC), ANSI color output, logging, and unit test functionality (PyUnit, PyTest, Nose)--presenting them in a single global Class object.
-
Glusto also acts as a global class for maintaining state and configuration data across multiple modules and classes.
-
Glusto provides a wrapper utility (
/usr/bin/glusto) to help make configuration files available to test cases from the command-line.
Import at the top of each module leveraging the glusto tools.
Example: To use Glusto in a module::
>>> from glusto.core import Glusto as g
Glusto inherits from multiple classes providing configuration, remote connection, ANSI color output, and logging functionality, presenting them in a single global Class object. Glusto also acts a global class for maintaining state across multiple modules and classes.
Note: It is no longer necessary to say "Glusto Importo!" out loud before executing scripts using the Glusto module. The import statement is more than sufficient.
