  32         <p>For noen dager siden omfavnet nok en kommune NUUGs
  33 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a>.  Med 61 kommuner
  34 som lenker til FiksGataMi fra sine hjemmesider er «markedsandelen» 14%
  35 (av 429 kommuner).  Siden
  36 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/59_kommuner_omfavner_n__FiksGataMi.html">siste
  37 oppdatering i november</a> har kommunene Re og Vågsøy kommet til og
  38 slår følge med kommunene Askim, Askøy, Audnedal, Aure, Balestrand,
  39 Bærum, Eide, Farsund, Flekkefjord, Folldal, Gran, Grue, Hadsel,

  50 <p>Kanskje du bør høre med din kommune om de vil bli mer aktive
  51 brukere av FiksGataMi?  Se

  53 tidligere bloggpost</a> med tips om hvordan det kan gjøres.</p>

  55 <p>I snitt rapporteres det nå via FiksGataMi ca. 60 meldinger fra
  56 innbyggerne i uka om feil på offentlig infrastruktur.</p>

  77         <p>Where I work at the <a href="http://www.uio.no/">University of
  78 Oslo</a>, we use the
  79 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/cerebrum/">Cerebrum user
  80 administration system</a> to maintain users, groups, DNS, DHCP, etc.
  81 I've known since the system was written that the server is providing
  82 an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC">XML-RPC</a> API, but
  83 I have never spent time to try to figure out how to use it, as we
  84 always use the bofh command line client at work.  Until today.  I want
  85 to script the updating of DNS and DHCP to make it easier to set up
  86 virtual machines.  Here are a few notes on how to use it with
  87 Python.</p>
  88
  89 <p>I started by looking at the source of the Java
  90 <a href="http://cerebrum.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cerebrum/trunk/cerebrum/clients/jbofh/">bofh
  91 client</a>, to figure out how it connected to the API server.  I also
  92 googled for python examples on how to use XML-RPC, and found
  93 <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XML-RPC-HOWTO/xmlrpc-howto-python.html">a
  94 simple example in</a> the XML-RPC howto.</p>
  95
  96 <p>This simple example code show how to connect, get the list of
  97 commands (as a JSON dump), and how to get the information about the
  98 user currently logged in:</p>
  99
 100 <blockquote><pre>
 101 #!/usr/bin/env python
 102 import getpass
 103 import xmlrpclib
 104 server_url = 'https://cerebrum-uio.uio.no:8000';
 105 username = getpass.getuser()
 106 password = getpass.getpass()
 107 server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url);
 108 #print server.get_commands(sessionid)
 109 sessionid = server.login(username, password)
 110 print server.run_command(sessionid, "user_info", username)
 111 result = server.logout(sessionid)
 112 print result
 113 </pre></blockquote>
 114
 115 <p>Armed with this knowledge I can now move forward and script the DNS
 116 and DHCP updates I wanted to do.</p>
