Hi Nigel, I'm not sure I've explained myself fully here, so apologies for that. I'm after a way to access the facts in a language other that Ruby, not create them. For example a python script that went something along the lines of: ==================== import facter proc1 = facter.facts['processor_0'] print u'The first processor in this system is %s' % proc1 =================== That's a vary basic example, however as I've already got a script that creates custom facts from the metadata in our provisioning system, I'm not worried about creating the facts, I just want to be able to access this incredible wealth of information across my various scripts (most of which are/will be in python) regardless of language. I love ruby, and I'm trying to learn it, but the truth is that me and my team don't really have time to learn another language on top of our day jobs!
