It's just a weird inconsistency when we already have so much code written (including libraries anyone can make use of) in Python. It just seems like it'd be the quickest and easiest way to go.

This only really works as long as you are generating simple kickstart files. If you are generating complicated ones, you will have to be careful to make sure your file is recognized as valid input by anaconda. Using pykickstart already gives you that guarantee, as its output is also valid input - if not, that's my bug, not yours. > In the case of pykickstart, this is nice, because pykickstart running on > EL 4 can't create a Fedora 11 compatible kickstart anyway.... it doesn't > know about the new tags. > > With a templating system, you could run your kickstart generator on any > platform, and it wouldn't matter what version of pykickstart you had. If you've got the 1.x series of pykickstart installed, it's got the multiple version support that should allow you to generate kickstart files for whatever version you want. Of course, you may need a fancier version of python installed that RHEL4 supports. - Chris _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
