pykickstart

pykickstart is a python library that is used for reading and writing kickstart files. It provides a common data representation, a parser, and a writer. pykickstart is designed to be easy to use for developers. It is easy to extend and embed in your own programs. The common data representation helps to ensure that any utility using pykickstart can write out a complete file, even if the utility doesn't understand all the kickstart options. The main reason for creating this project was to synchronize kickstart support between the two main programs - ["Anaconda"] and system-config-kickstart.
