<br>
Today I am very pleased to announce the publication of pyfai [1], a <br>
Python package providing Pythonic wrappers for the most important <br>
commands in FAI customization scripts such as fcopy(8). More high-level <br>
abstractions, e.g. to install systemd units, are planned and will follow <br>
within the next months. The source code is available on Github [2] and <br>
extensive documentation is provided on Read the Docs [3].<br>
<br>
There are no official Debian packages yet (but planned). Until they <br>
become available, I would recommend stdeb [4] (Debian package <br>
python3-stdeb) to build a .deb package: `py2dsc-deb fai-0.1.0.tar.gz`<br>
<br>
My current integration in FAI installation and softupdate is based on <br>
the Debian package that I simply let install by install_packages(8). <br>
During softupdate this is already enough to actually `import fai` in <br>
Python customization scripts. During installation, however, Python needs <br>
to load the package from the target system (unless pyfai is installed in <br>
the installer system itself, too). Therefore, I set <br>
`PYTHONPATH="$target/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages"` in `class/INSTALL.var`.<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to your feedback/ideas/pull requests!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Maximilian<br>
