mayn / packer.py Goto Github PK

self explanatory

Currently, you can't see the output of packer.py unless it finishes its job. Is there any way to stream it in real-time to console?

Expected behavior

Keyword args need to be unique. This poses a challenge when trying to express var concisely.
Want to be able to pass in dict or list of vars and expand into multiple arguments into packer binary.
Ie packer build -var “myv=first” -var “myv2=second”

Current workaround is to express additional vars as string.
PackerExecutable().build(var=‘“myv=first” -var “myv2=second”’)

packer.py version

0.3.0

Expected behavior

Hidden password

Actual behavior

When you run p.build command with the password argument, everyone can see the password in the process status through the build.

Expected behavior

Ability to pass json or packer template filepath to Packer command execution

Add walkthrough docs covering all features

currently commands simply pass through output from packer commands as a tuple.

(ret, out, err) = p.version()

I want to be able to parse in format that allows further manipulation via python.
