hiera-py

Python interface for the hiera hierarchical database. Forked from https://github.com/thomasvandoren/hiera-py to fix issues that are specific to my needs.

See the documentation on puppetlabs.com for more detail.

Installation

pip install git+git://github.com/sharkannon/hiera-py

Supported python versions

• 2.7
• PyPy

Eventually, I would like to support 3.x and 2.6+.

Getting Started

>>> import hiera
>>> hiera_client = hiera.HieraClient('/etc/hiera.yml', hiera_vars={'environment': 'dev')
>>> hiera_client.get('my_key')
'my_value'
>>> hiera_client.get('nonexistent_key')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
hiera.exc.HieraError: Failed to retrieve key nonexistent_key. ...
