Python – How to Use Puppet python module in manifest file

puppetpython

I am writing a puppet manifest file to install python and pymongo.
This python module is installed on the server, link shown below https://forge.puppetlabs.com/stankevich/python

Here is the manifest file I created. But it say unknown class and resource . Please suggest what wrong in the syntax.

class { 'python' :
  version           => 'system',
  pip               => 'present'
}

  python::pip { 'pymongo' :
    pkgname         => 'pymongo',
    ensure          => '2.7',
  }

It says Unknown class: 'python and Unknown resource type: 'python::pip'

Thanks,

Looks like stankevich-python is not installed in your modulepath. Did you run:

puppet module install stankevich-python

You can check you modulepath on Puppet master using:

puppet config print modulepath --section master

Puppet: enable / disable recurse directories

You want to ensure that a certain set of files are present or absent in the directory, right? You don't ever want Puppet to ever delete the directory itself and all its contents? Then you need to manage the resources individually rather than recursing. Somethign like

file { '/usr/local/bin':
  ensure => directory,
  owner => root,
  group => root,
}

$scripts = ['/usr/local/bin/script1.sh', '/usr/local/bin/live.sh']

file { $scripts:
      ensure => $enabled ? {
        "true" => file,
        "false" => absent,
      },
  owner => root,
  group => root,
  require => File['/usr/local/bin'],
}

Since you need the scripts to vary across hosts, you can set $scripts in hiera rather than the manifest.

Centos – puppet service not stopping service (iptables)

I wanted to leave this here as an answer to my question because it worked for me. If you are running CentOS 5.4 this will work and effectively will ensure that the iptables module is unloaded from the kernel. I will ask a new question specifically relating to my continued work with CentOS 6 and puppet.

exec { "chkconfig_iptables":
          onlyif => "/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 iptables",
          command => "/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 iptables off",
          before => exec["kill_iptables"]
     }
exec { "kill_iptables":
          onlyif => "/sbin/lsmod | grep ip_tables",
          command => "/sbin/service iptables stop;/sbin/modprobe -f -r ip_tables"
      }
