txAWS

Scripts for txAWS

Registered by Duncan McGreggor

In bug #482357, Robert Collins suggested that we start adding command line tools for txAWS. The intent of this blueprint is to list those parts of txAWS that currently don't have a command line tool, and then set in place a policy for all new work, with regard to such tools.

The following subpackages need to provide a command line tool:
 * txaws.ec2
 * txaws.storage

The following subpackages are currently planned, and will need scripts:
 * txaws.cloudwatch
 * txaws.cloudfront
 * txaws.sqs
 * txaws.mapreduce
 * txaws.database

Standards:
 * These tools need to be scripts in the package bin directory.
 * They need to have the similar names as their Amazon EC2 API Tools counterparts (e.g. txaws-add-group).
 * The command line options and manner of calling need to be identical.
 * For every branch that includes support for a new AWS API call, a new script needs to be created.
 * Code that scripts share in common should be created in txaws.scripts; bin scripts will import code from there.
 * The more code that can be in txaws.scripts, the better (i.e., make the code as reusable as possible).
