v2.0

pyinfra automates/provisions/manages/deploys infrastructure. It can be used for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more. See the readme for more information.

The first 2.x release! Like v0 -> v1 this release mostly removes legacy APIs and methods which show warnings in v1. Major changes:

Breaking: Python 2.7 (finally!), 3.5 support dropped, Python 3.6 is now the minimum required version.

Breaking: the "deploy directory" concept has been removed - everything now executes from the current working directory which removes the ambiguous magic v1 used to pick a deploy directory. A new --chdir CLI flag has been added to set the working directory before pyinfra executes.

This may affect scripts or CI workflows currently setup, for example:

# Old v1, deploy directory becomes deploys/elasticsearch/
pyinfra deploys/elasticsearch/inventories/production.py deploys/elasticsearch/deploy.py

# New v2, explicit chdir required
pyinfra --chdir deploys/elasticsearch/ inventories/production.py deploy.py

Parallel operation generation & facts rewrite - this is a huge improvement to how pyinfra generates commands to run on target hosts. This is now run in parallel across all hosts. Facts are now collected by individual host rather than across all hosts which may yield significant speedups in certain situations.

This change also brings support for all of the execution global arguments to facts, and hugely simplifies the facts implementation. Global arguments will now be read from host data in exactly the same way they are for operations, which was often a confusing gotcha in v1. This also means that the arguments can have different values for each host and this will not cause issues.

Other breaking changes (warnings shown in v1 for most):

• Non-existent host data raises an AttributeError when accessed via host.data.X
• Change default branch argument to None in git.repo operation
• present argument removed from mysql.privileges operation
• Config variables must now be set on the global config object
• Old style host.fact.fact_name access has been removed
• The legacy init.* operations have been removed
• Stop lowercasing package names in facts & operations
• Remove --facts and --operations CLI flags
• Remove --debug-data CLI flag
• Remove Windows prefix on all Windows facts
• Rename name argument to path in windows_files.* operations
• Remove support for jinja2 template parsing in string arguments
• Remove old pyinfra.modules module/import
• Remove config.MIN_PYINFRA_VERSION
• Remove branch and create_branch arguments in git.worktree operation
• Remove touch_periodic argument in apt.update operation (never used)
• pyinfra.api.connectors module moved to pyinfra.connectors

Deprecated (showing warnings, to be removed in v3):

• state and host arguments no longer need to be passed into operation or deploy functions
• postgresql_* arguments renamed to psql_* in postgresql.* operations & facts
