rsclib: Utility Routines
========================

:Author: Ralf Schlatterbeck <rsc@runtux.com>

The library includes various utility modules used in other projects.

- ast_call: A simple call manager using asterisk: This can be used to
  originate a call and log all event associated to that call. So you
  can find out the status of the call and optionally the dialstatus.
- ast_cdr: parser for CDR records in asterisk. We currently use
  text-files only, this might be later extended for database use.
- ast_probe: Methods for checking for running asterisk
- Autosuper magic (originally from Guido van Rossums announcement of
  Python 2.2): For refactoring it's a good idea that each class knows
  its parents (that the parent is not hardcoded in the upcall),
  achieved by adding a the __super attribute. Use as, e.g.,
  self.__super.method for calling method in the parent.
- base_pickler: Allow to specify a dictionary of pickle exceptions, if
  the value in the dictionary is in __dict__ when pickle is called, the
  value in __dict__ is replaced with the value in the exception
  dictionary.
- bero: A configurator for the `bero*fos`_ failover switch. See my
  `blogpost`_ why I wrote that (short summary: to work around bugs in
  the firmware of the device which are not addressed by the
  configurator code that comes with the device).
- Config_File for python-syntax configuration files used in several of
  my projects.
- crm: Tools for the cluster resource manager of the pacemaker high
  availability project. We allow querying of nodes, resources and
  errors for resources as well as resetting errors and migration of
  resources.
- execute: module for executing commands and handling IO, this also
  has a Lock and a Log mixin. Now there is also a framework for
  executing processes in a pipeline, there can be fork-points in the
  pipeline where the output of one process feeds several pipelines.
  See test_exec.py, test2_exec.py and test3_exec.py.
- grepmime: search for pattern in email attachments (even if these are
  encoded)
- inductance: Inductance calculation of air-cored cylindrical
  flat-winded coil according to Robert Weaver
  http://electronbunker.ca/CalcMethods3b.html
- IP_Address: IP v4 and v6 Addresses with subnet masking
- iter_recipes: magic with iterators
  With some backwards-compatible implementations of Python's itertools
  for earlier Python versions.
- isdn: model the status of Asterisk ISDN lines, either Linux Call
  Router (LCR) ISDN lines or lines managed by DAHDI. Special case for
  Xorcom modules which provide more information using Xorcom-specific
  files in /proc than native DAHDI modules.
- lc_resonator: Frequency calculation for L-C resonator
- Math implements Euclids algorithm for greatest common divisor and as
  a by-product the least common multiple
- nmap: A parser for output of nmap scans to (e.g. to generate tables
  in TeX)
- ocf: small framework for writing OCF scripts for the heartbeat
  cluster resource manager (probably also usable for the newer version
  called pacemaker but for now only tested with the version in Debian
  stable aka lenny).
- PDF_Signature: experimental code for checking signatures on adobe PDF
  documents
- Phone: Parse phone numbers (Austria-specific)
- PM_Value: Possibly missing value, encapsulate a number which may be
  missing and associated arithmetics.
- pycompat: Utilities for running under different python versions
- Rational: Implementation of Rational numbers
- stateparser: Simple state-machine parser class, this is used for
  writing line-based parsers using a state machine. For an example
  usage see nmap. After parsing the result can be pickled but we lose
  the ability to continue parsing after reading from the pickled
  result.
- sqlparser: Parse SQL dumps from postgreSQL and mysql and optionally
  create an new (e.g. anonymized) sql dump
- timeout: A simple timeout mechanism using SIGALRM
- Tex_CSV_Writer: Write CVS files in a syntax that can be parsed by
  TeX. Implements same interface as the csv module. Only implements
  writing.
- trafficshape: Simple traffic shaping configuration: Currently
  generates Linux tc commands for a traffic shaping config using hfsc
  for shaping and sfq or red for the leaf qdiscs. We also provide a
  translator from iptables mangle rules (for traffic marking) to tc
  commands for filtering. This is needed if we want to do inbound
  shaping. The Linux kernel doesn't support inbound shaping, so we need
  to redirect all traffic to an ifb device. On that device we do
  *outbound* shaping. Unfortunately when sending traffic to an ifb
  device with a tc filter + action mirred command this occurs *before*
  the PREROUTING chain. This means packets are not yet marked. So we
  provide a parser to translate mangle rules in the PREROUTING chain to
  appropriate tc commands. For implementing this we mark packets (using
  the tc action xt (formerly known as ipt used for iptables marking, a
  backward-compatibility option can be used) in the original device and
  then use the marked information in the ifb device to send the traffic
  to appropriate qdiscs. This supports a two-level approach: Rules in
  iptables that match on a packet mark (using --mark) are translated to
  tc commands in the ifb device (they depend on the mark already
  present). All other rules are translated to a tc action xt (using -j
  MARK) and a tc action mirred redirect (for sending the traffic to the
  ifb device) for the *original* device (e.g. eth0 redirecting to
  ifb0). The PREROUTING commands by default are directly taken from the
  running kernel by default (using "iptables -t mangle -S -v")

Version 0.40: Distribution bug-fix

Renaming of README lead to the missing file README.rst in the distro.

- Fix MANIFEST.in

Version 0.39: Minor feature enhancements

Fixes to hexdump, unicode issues (elementtree wrapper, stateparser).
Add some fixes to IP_Address comparison. The nmap output has changed in
recent versions, adapt to new format.

- Make address in hexdump configurable
- Bug-fix with comparison of sub-classes in IP_Address
- Unicode support in ETree
- Unicode support in stateparser
- Fix for trailing empty attributes in CSV output of PostgreSQL dumps
  in sqlparser
- Unicode support in sqlparser (uses stateparser)
- Parse new nmap format
- Fix for configurable Releasetools location

Version 0.38: Minor feature enhancements

Fix boolean conversion of IP6_Address (and IP4_Address).

- IP6_Address would throw an error when trying a truth-test. Add
  __nonzero__ (which always returns True even for the 0 Address)

Version 0.37: Minor feature enhancements

Change sort-order of IP_Address, make IP_Address immutable, use
metaclass magic to allow copy-constructor semantics.

- Sort order of IP_Address objects (both v4 and v6) now reverses the
  order of the netmask: If the IP-Address part of the objects to
  compare are the same, we used to sort by *inverse* netmask (putting
  smaller networks with higher netmask first). We now reversed this to
  be compatible with PostgrSQL cidr type objects.
- All attributes of IP_Address objects are now implemented as
  properties to return the '_' variant of the attribute. Thus
  IP_Address objects are (when using the public interface) immutable.
  Since we already had a __hash__ method this effectively fixes the
  interface to not allow mutation of objects that are in a dictionary.
- Allow calling the IP_Address constructors with another IP_Address
  object. Since IP_Address objects are now immutable we use metaclass
  trickery to return the passed object itself (instead of generating a
  copy).

Version 0.36: Minor feature enhancements

Allow auto-coercion of comparison parameters. Add parent property and
is_sibling test.

- Now comparison operators and 'in' do auto coercion.
- Add parent property (next bigger network)
- Add is_sibling test (same parent)

Version 0.35: Minor feature enhancements

Add 'mask_len' as an alias of 'mask' to IP_Address.

- Need the network mask length (aka prefix length) sometimes as
  mask_len (e.g. for FFM on github).

Version 0.34: Minor feature enhancements

Fix trafficshape to use new tc syntax. Add label to hexdump.

- The tc command has renamed the ``ipt`` action to ``xt`` (Linux
  introduced xtables as a refactoring of iptables), the old ``ipt`` is
  still available in ``iproute2`` but we make ``xt`` the default now.
  A backward-compatibility parameter can be used to get the old
  behavior.
- Add save-mark to iptables action parser.
- The hexdump class now can generate labels.

Version 0.33: Minor feature enhancements

More fixes for ast_call.

- Add parser for events from asterisk wireshark trace
- Add fail.log for 'real' test
- Don't double-register call with Call_Manager
- Allow explicit matching by account-code

Version 0.32: Minor feature enhancements

More fixes for ast_call.

- Regression test with pyst asterisk emulator
- Fix case where OriginateResponse immediately returns Failure
- Tests for cases where Hangup comes before or after the
  OriginateResponse

Version 0.31: Minor feature enhancements

Fix ast_call for immediately failing calls. Fix dahdi channel
computation in isdn.py.

- Fix OriginateResponse handling in ast_call
- Fix dahdi channel computation, can't directly use the span, use the
  basechan attribute

Version 0.30: Minor feature enhancements

Fix how dahdi vs. mISDN interpret what is called an interface and what
is called a port. In mISDN we can combine several ports (physical lines)
to an interface. In dahdi both are the same (a port is a span in dahdi).

- Remove parsing of B- and C- channels from dahdi isdn parser

Version 0.29: Minor feature enhancements

The lcr module is now named isdn. It can now handle isdn interfaces
managed by Asterisk DAHDI in addition to Linux Call Router (LCR).

Version 0.28: Minor feature enhancements

Fix inductance formula of Robert Weaver, thanks Robert for pointing me
to the correction you did on your new site! For most doctests in the
inductance module the error was in the lower percentage points.
Add an xxrange iterator to the iter_recipes that can replace pythons
native xrange iterator but works with long integers. Needed for some
operations on IPv6 addresses in the IP_Address module.

- Fix inductance calculation according to patch from Robert Weaver
- Add xxrange iterator to iter_recipes
- Use new xxrange instead of xrange in IP_Address module, add a test
  that failed with large numbers for IPv6

Version 0.27: Minor feature enhancements

Add pageurl and pageinfo attributes to HTML_Parser.Page_Tree, other
enhancements to HTML_Parser. Add pickle support to parser classes.
Fix comparison of IP_Address classes.

- Add pageurl and pageinfo attributes to HTML_Parser.Page_Tree storing
  information retrieved via geturl and info calls from urllib2.
- Parser classes in stateparser.py and HTML_Parse.py where not
  pickleable, fixed by removing parser-specific attributes when calling
  pickle. Note that the parsing cannot be continued after reading class
  from a pickle.
- Add base_pickler module to allow pickle exceptions
- HTML_Parse: Make Parse_Error a ValueError
- HTML_Parse: Raise line number with exception
- HTML_Parse: Add a timeout

- IP_Address: Fix comparison
- Slight refactoring of NMAP_Parser class

Version 0.26: Minor feature enhancements

Fix double-utf-8-encoding option for sqlparser. Enhance stderr handling
for exec_pipe.

- More detected broken encodings for fix_double_encode option
- execute.py: add error message from executed command to message raised
  by exec_pipe, make stderr output available in non-failing case.

Version 0.25: Minor feature enhancements

Add sqlparser for parsing SQL dumps of PostgreSQL and mysql, add Phone
to parse phone numbers.

- sqlparser added
- Phone added for parsing phone numbers

Version 0.24: Minor feature enhancements

Better syntax checks and comparison operators for IP_Address, bug fixes
for parser and __str__ for IP_Address.IP6_Address

- IP_Address better syntax checks
- IP_Address __cmp__ and __eq__ improved for comparison with other types
- more regression tests for IP6_Address
- bug fixes in __str__ and parser of IP6_Address
- support for strict checking of netmask (all bits at right of netmask
  must be zero if strict_mask is True)

Version 0.23: Minor feature enhancements

IP4_Address can now be put in a dict, add a subnets iterator for
IP4_Address. Factor IP_Address and add IP6_Address

- Add __hash__ for IP_Address
- The new subnets iterator for IP_Address iterates over all IPs in a
  subnet. Optionally a netmask can be specified.
- Support for IPv6 addresses
- rename IP4_Address to IP_Address

Version 0.22: Minor feature enhancements

Allow unicode ip address input, hopefully make rsclib installable via pip.

- Address given to IP4_Address constructor now may be unicode
- Add download_url to setup.py to make installable via pip

Version 0.21: Minor feature enhancements

Fix autosuper: allow to inherit from non-autosuper classes, some small
fixes to ast_call and lcr parser. Fix ETree pretty-printing. Update
Freshmeat to new hostname. Add dotted netmaks parsing to IP4_Address.

- Since python2.6 constructor of "object" do not allow parameters, so
  we need to strip these when doing the upcall from autosuper. This
  fails when e.g. inheriting from a non-autosuper enabled class, e.g.,
  class (With_Autosuper, dict)
  in that case dict would get empty parameters. New implementation
  finds out if our upcall is to "object", only in that case strip
  parameters.
- ast_call now processes all queued unhandled events when a call is
  matched.
- update regression test for ast_call.Call
- lcr parser: fix regex, port can have an empty name.
- Optimize call matching in ast_call: mark call as closed once we are
  sure about the uniqueid. Add matching of Account-Code.
- Fix ETree pretty-printing: don't print unicode strings when arguments
  are already converted
- freshmeat.net now is freecode.com (and the API redirects there),
  update Freshmeat.py to new hostname (including .netrc credentials
  with compatibility for old name).
- explicit mask paramter of IP4_Address can now be a dotted netmask.

Version 0.20: Not announced on freshmeat

Database value output for ast_cdr, added inductance calculation.

- ast_cdr: Add methods for database values of CDR records -- database
  values of CDRs are different, they don't include start, end, answer
  time-stamps but instead only a calldate, in addition the amaflags are
  numerical in the database.
- added inductance calculation

Version 0.19: Not announced on freshmeat

Extend ETree with a walk method and implement small ldap library

- ETree: add walk method to walk the tree and call an optional pre- and
  post-hook function
- ldap_lib: common ldap tasks for user and group search, and an
  iterator for paged search (used with active directory).

IP4_Address.

- ast_call: match calls via (unique) account code
- ast_call: State vs ChannelState parameter in Newstate event

Add a framework for process pipeline execution, processes can either be
python methods or external programs (with parameter list).  They can be
connected in a pipe and there may be T-points in the pipe, where the
pipe forks into two or more pipelines fed by the output of one process.

- Add process pipeline framework
- HTML_Parse now has an explicit translate hook for preprocessing the
  html page before parsing it. This defaults to the old behaviour of
  filtering out common characters in broken HTML.
- Add nmap parser (e.g. to generate TeX tables from an nmap scan)
- Fix Lock_Mixin in execute module to remove lockfile at exit,
  this used to rely on __del__ which breaks in certain cases.

Version 0.11: Not announced on freshmeat

Add a parser for CDR records in asterisk. We currently use text-files
only, this might be later extended for database use. Some fixes for
ast_call, make call-handling more robust (some race conditions would
identify events of other calls as belonging to our initiated call).
Add an execute module for executing commands and handling IO, this also
has a Lock and a Log mixin. Add ocf.py, a small framework for writing
OCF scripts for the heartbeat cluster resource manager (probably also
usable for the newer version called pacemaker but for now only tested
with the version in Debian stable aka lenny). Add lcr.py to model the
status of Linux Call Router ISDN lines.
