Hi all,








I am looking forward to your feedback/ideas/pull requests!

Best,

Today I am very pleased to announce the publication of pyfai [1], a Python package providing Pythonic wrappers for the most important commands in FAI customization scripts such as fcopy(8). More high-level abstractions, e.g. to install systemd units, are planned and will follow within the next months. The source code is available on Github [2] and extensive documentation is provided on Read the Docs [3]. There are no official Debian packages yet (but planned). Until they become available, I would recommend stdeb [4] (Debian package python3-stdeb) to build a .deb package: `py2dsc-deb fai-0.1.0.tar.gz` My current integration in FAI installation and softupdate is based on the Debian package that I simply let install by install_packages(8). During softupdate this is already enough to actually `import fai` in Python customization scripts. During installation, however, Python needs to load the package from the target system (unless pyfai is installed in the installer system itself, too). Therefore, I set `PYTHONPATH="$target/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages"` in `class/INSTALL.var`.
