Re: [ovirt-users] Python: Clone snapshot into VM

Hi,
thanks, the tool is ready and online on github.
Looks really cool. Good job! What do you think of making the backing up
into a loop and fetching VMs from a list? My thinking is that you
usually have more than one VM you´d want to back up, so something like
this maybe:
def getVMsFromList(VMS_LIST):
try:
print 'Getting list of VMs from file \"%s\".' % (VMS_LIST)
fo = open(VMS_LIST)
output = []
for line in fo:
strippedline = line.strip('\r\n')
output.append(strippedline)
fo.close()
return output
except Exception as e:
print 'Exception in getting list of VMs:\n%s' % str(e)
exit(1)
And then you can loop:
for LIST_VM_NAME in getVMsFromList('VMs.list'):
....
Or to have the list of VMs in the config and then:
config = Config(config_file, debug)
VMS_LIST = vms_list
for LIST_VM_NAME in getVMsFromList(VMS_LIST):
....
