Manage Python related .dotfiles (for a user) about puppet-python HOT 7 CLOSED

it might be valuable to have a python::dotfiles::config class where all manner of variables could be set (in Hiera), which are then used as defaults in this defined type…

patches are urgently welcome!

I'll try to make a proposal here during the day

the day needs more hours, or less meetings.

i have now solved this issue with a private (general) defined type (in a profile)

define profile::python::dotfile (
  $ensure   = 'present',
  $filename = $title,
  $owner    = 'root',
  $group    = 'root',
  $mode     = '0644',
  $config   = {},
) {
  $parent_dir = dirname($filename)

  exec { "create ${title}'s parent dir":
    command => "install -o ${owner} -g ${group} -d ${parent_dir}",
    creates => $parent_dir,
  }

  file { $filename:
    ensure  => $ensure,
    owner   => $owner,
    group   => $group,
    content => template("${module_name}/inifile.erb"),
    require => Exec["create ${title}'s parent dir"],
  }
}

the template is simply:

# this file is managed by puppet
<%- @config.map do |section,conf| -%>
[<%= section -%>]
<%-   conf.map do |key,value| -%>
<%= key %> = <%= value %>

<%-   end -%>
<%- end -%>
