python-cloudformation transforms Python source code representations of AWS CloudFormation templates into JSON. It's most useful for automating tedious user data manipulation in its very rudimentary "templating language."

See the simple example in python-cloudformation(7).

Prerequisites:

• Python >= 2.6

git clone git://github.com/devstructure/python-cloudformation.git
cd python-cloudformation && make && sudo make install

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum install python26
git clone git://github.com/devstructure/python-cloudformation.git
cd python-cloudformation && make && sudo make install PYTHON=/usr/bin/python26

This installs Python 2.6 from EPEL side-by-side with Python 2.4 and so won't break yum.

DevStructure maintains Debian packages and Python eggs. See Installing with a package manager on the wiki.

Coming soon!
