Python API for Racktables 0.20.x

Racktables Python API

This was forked from https://github.com/RackTables/racktables-contribs/tree/master/rtapi

I wanted to expand on the original rtapi and didn't like the coding standard for sql queries.

So there is some left to rewrite and much left to add.

TODO

• Tag support
• Support for containers, like virtual clusters
• Rewrite all calls to MySQLdb to use their own parameter expansion

Example

The API frontend has changed some from the original.

import ipaddr
import MySQLdb
import rtapi

# Create connection to database
try:
    # Create connection to database
    db = MySQLdb.connect(host='hostname',port=3306, passwd='mypass',db='racktables',user='racktables)
except MySQLdb.Error ,e:
    print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
    sys.exit(1)

# Initialize rtapi with database connection
rt = rtapi.RTObject(db)

# List all objects from database
for (object_id, object_name) in rt.Objects:
  print object_id, object_name

Example of use of generators in new API.

rt = rtapi.RTObject(db)

# List all IPv4 Networks
for network in rt.IPv4Networks():
  print network.name, network
