Interest in a python version of build.sh?

[ajschroeder]

Hello,

I have built a packer environment/repo similar to yours, but for proxmox. I really like the new build script in the develop branch, however I thought that maybe a python script might be better for my needs. I know bash is everywhere and doesn't require any special dependencies, but if this environment requires ansible you're going to get python, too.

I have a very early alpha version of the script that I just got working with Linux builds. To keep the external dependencies to a minimum, I am using whatever ships with a default python install. So far there isn't anything that I have ran into that needs extra python modules.

Would this project be interested in a python version of the build script? If so I would gladly give you what I have since this project has inspired my proxmox based packer builds.

Hey there! 👋🏻

At this time, we plan to stick with the use of the shell scripts since we have a couple for various uses.

In the future I may rewrite some of this at a Go-based CLI here or in another spinoff.

Thanks for the reply! I wanted to offer up something back to the repo that has helped me out so much. I do like the Go-based option as well. Cheers, AJ
