Subpackages

Submodules

pyanaconda.addons module

class pyanaconda.addons.AddonSection(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: pykickstart.sections.Section

finalize()

Let addon know no additional data will come.

handleHeader(lineno, args)

Process the arguments to the %addon header.

handleLine(line)
sectionOpen = '%addon'
class pyanaconda.addons.AddonRegistry(dictionary)

Bases: builtins.object

This class represents the ksdata.addons object and maintains the ids and data structures for loaded addons.

It acts as a proxy during kickstart save.

execute(storage, ksdata, instClass, users)

This method calls execute on all the registered addons.

setup(storage, ksdata, instClass)

This method calls setup on all the registered addons.

class pyanaconda.addons.AddonData(name)

Bases: builtins.object

This is a common parent class for loading and storing 3rd party data to kickstart. It is instantiated by kickstart parser and stored as ksdata.addons.<name> to be used in the user interfaces.

The mandatory method handle_line receives all lines from the corresponding addon section in kickstart and the mandatory __str__ implementation is responsible for returning the proper kickstart text (to be placed into the %addon section) back.

There is also a mandatory method execute, which should make all the described changes to the installed system.

execute(storage, ksdata, instClass, users)

Make the changes to the underlying system.

This method is called only once in the post-install setup phase.

finalize()

No additional data will come.

Addon should check if all mandatory attributes were populated.

handle_header(lineno, args)

Process additional arguments to the %addon line.

This function receives any arguments on the %addon line after the addon ID. For example, for the line:

%addon com_example_foo –argument=’example’

This function would be called with args=[“–argument=’example’”].

By default AddonData.handle_header just preserves the passed arguments by storing them and adding them to the __str__ output.

handle_line(line)

Process one kickstart line.

setup(storage, ksdata, instClass)

Make the changes to the install system.

This method is called before the installation is started and directly from spokes. It must be possible to call it multiple times without breaking the environment.

pyanaconda.addons.collect_addon_paths(toplevel_addon_paths, ui_subdir='gui')

This method looks into the directories present in toplevel_addon_paths and registers each subdirectory as a new addon identified by that subdirectory name.

It then registers spokes, categories and data (ks) paths for the application to use. By default is looks for spokes and categories in <addon>/gui/ subdirectory but that can be changed using the ui_subdir argument.

pyanaconda.anaconda_argparse module

class pyanaconda.anaconda_argparse.AnacondaArgumentParser(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: argparse.ArgumentParser

Subclass of ArgumentParser that also examines boot arguments.

If the “bootarg_prefix” keyword argument is set, it’s assumed that all bootargs will start with that prefix.

“require_prefix” is a bool:
False: accept the argument with or without the prefix. True: ignore the argument without the prefix. (default)
add_argument(*args, **kwargs)

Add a new option - like ArgumentParser.add_argument.

The long options will be added to the list of boot args, unless the keyword argument ‘bootarg’ is set to False.

Positional arguments that don’t start with ‘-‘ are considered extra boot args to look for.

NOTE: conflict_handler is currently ignored for boot args - they will always raise ArgumentError if they conflict.

parse_args(args=None, boot_cmdline=None)

Like ArgumentParser.parse_args(), but also parses the boot cmdline. (see parse_boot_cmdline for details on that process.) Program cmdline arguments will override boot cmdline arguments.

Parameters:
  • args (string or None) – program command line arguments
  • boot_cmdline (string, dict or None) – the Anaconda boot command line arguments
Returns:

an argparse Namespace instance
Return type:

Namespace
parse_boot_cmdline(boot_cmdline)

Parse the boot cmdline and create an appropriate Namespace instance according to the option definitions set by add_argument.

boot_cmdline can be given as a string (to be parsed by BootArgs), or a dict (or any object with .items()) of {bootarg:value} pairs.

If boot_cmdline is None, the boot_cmdline data will be whatever BootArgs reads by default (/proc/cmdline, /run/initramfs/etc/cmdline, /etc/cmdline).

If an option requires a value but the boot arg doesn’t provide one, we’ll quietly not set anything in the Namespace. We also skip any boot options that were not specified by add_argument as we don’t care about them (there will usually be quite a lot of them (rd.*, etc.).

Parameters:boot_cmdline (string, dict or None) – the Anaconda boot command line arguments
Returns:an argparse Namespace instance
Return type:Namespace
class pyanaconda.anaconda_argparse.HelpTextParser(path)

Bases: builtins.object

Class to parse help text from file and make it available to option parser.

Initializer :param path: The absolute path to the help text file

help_text(option)

Returns the help text corresponding to the given command-line option. If no help text is available, returns the empty string.

Parameters:option (str) – The name of the option
Return type:str
read(lines)

Reads option, help text pairs from a text file.

Each pair is separated from the next by an empty line. The option comes first, followed by any number of lines of help text.

Parameters:lines – a sequence of lines of text
pyanaconda.anaconda_argparse.get_help_width()

Try to detect the terminal window width size and use it to compute optimal help text width. If it can’t be detected a default values is returned.

Returns:optimal help text width in number of characters
Return type:int
pyanaconda.anaconda_argparse.name_path_pairs(image_specs)

Processes and verifies image file specifications. Generates pairs of names and paths.

Parameters:image_specs (list of str) – a list of image specifications

Each image spec in image_specs has format <path>[:<name>] where <path> is the path to a local file and <name> is an optional name used to identify the disk in UI. <name> may not contain colons or slashes.

If no name given in specification, synthesizes name from basename of path. Since two distinct paths may have the same basename, handles name collisions by synthesizing a different name for the colliding name.

Raises an exception if:
  • A path is empty
  • A path specifies a non-existant file
  • A path specifies a directory
  • Duplicate paths are specified
  • A name contains a “/”

pyanaconda.geoloc module

A GeoIP and WiFi location module - location detection based on IP address

How to use the geolocation module

First call init_geolocation() - this creates the LocationInfo singleton and you can also use it to set what geolocation provider should be used. To actually look up current position, call refresh() - this will trigger the actual online geolocation query, which runs in a thread. After the look-up thread finishes, the results are stored in the singleton and can be retrieved using the get_territory_code() and get_result() methods. If you call these methods without calling refresh() first or if the look-up is currently in progress, both return None.

Geolocation backends

This module currently supports three geolocation backends: * Fedora GeoIP API * Hostip GeoIP * Google WiFi

Fedora GeoIP backend This is the default backend. It queries the Fedora GeoIP API for location data based on current public IP address. The reply is JSON formated and contains the following fields: postal_code, latitude, longitude, region, city, country_code, country_name, time_zone, country_code3, area_code, metro_code, region_name and dma_code Anaconda currently uses just time_zone and country_code.

Hostip backend A GeoIP look-up backend that can be used to determine current country code from current public IP address. The public IP address is determined automatically when calling the API. GeoIP results from Hostip contain the current public IP and an approximate address. To get this detail location info, use the get_result() method to get an instance of the LocationResult class, used to wrap the result.

Google WiFi backend This backend is probably the most accurate one, at least as long as the computer has a working WiFi hardware and there are some WiFi APs nearby. It sends data about nearby APs (ssid, MAC address & signal strength) acquired from Network Manager to a Google API to get approximate geographic coordinates. If there are enough AP nearby (such as in a normal city) it can be very accurate, even up to currently determining which building is the computer currently in. But this only returns current geographic coordinates, to get country code the Nominatim reverse-geocoding API is called to convert the coordinates to an address, which includes a country code. While having many advantages, this backend also has some severe disadvantages: * needs working WiFi hardware * tells your public IP address & possibly quite precise geographic coordinates

to two external entities (Google and Nominatim)

This could have severe privacy issues and should be carefully considered before enabling it to be used by default. * the Google WiFi geolocation API seems to lack official documentation As a result its long-term stability might not be guarantied.

Possible issues with GeoIP

“I’m in Switzerland connected to corporate VPN and anaconda tells me I’m in Netherlands.” The public IP address is not directly mapped to the physical location of a computer. So while your world visible IP address is registered to an IP block assigned to an ISP in Netherlands, it is just the external address of the Internet gateway of your corporate network. As VPNs and proxies can connect two computers anywhere on Earth, this issue is unfortunately probably unsolvable.

Backends that could possibly be used in the future * GPS geolocation + doesn’t leak your coordinates to a third party (not entirely true for assisted GPS) - unassisted cold GPS startup can take tens of minutes to acquire a GPS fix + assisted GPS startup (as used in most smartphones) can acquire a fix in a couple seconds * cell tower geolocation

TODO: allow using globs and thus more trees?

pyanaconda.iutil.dracut_eject(device)

Use dracut shutdown hook to eject media after the system is shutdown. This is needed because we are running from the squashfs.img on the media so ejecting too early will crash the installer.

pyanaconda.iutil.eintr_ignore(func, *args, **kwargs)

Call a function and ignore EINTR.

This is useful for calls to close() and dup2(), which can return EINTR but which should not be retried, since by the time they return the file descriptor is already closed.

pyanaconda.iutil.execConsole()
pyanaconda.iutil.execInSysroot(command, argv, stdin=None)

Run an external program in the target root. :param command: The command to run :param argv: The argument list :param stdin: The file object to read stdin from. :return: The return code of the command

pyanaconda.iutil.execReadlines(command, argv, stdin=None, root='/', env_prune=None, filter_stderr=False)

Execute an external command and return the line output of the command in real-time.

This method assumes that there is a reasonably low delay between the end of output and the process exiting. If the child process closes stdout and then keeps on truckin’ there will be problems.

NOTE/WARNING: UnicodeDecodeError will be raised if the output of the
external command can’t be decoded as UTF-8.
Parameters:
  • command – The command to run
  • argv – The argument list
  • stdin – The file object to read stdin from.
  • stdout – Optional file object to redirect stdout and stderr to.
  • root – The directory to chroot to before running command.
  • env_prune – environment variable to remove before execution
  • filter_stderr – Whether stderr should be excluded from the returned output

Output from the file is not logged to program.log This returns an iterator with the lines from the command until it has finished

pyanaconda.iutil.execWithCapture(command, argv, stdin=None, root='/', log_output=True, filter_stderr=False)

Run an external program and capture standard out and err. :param command: The command to run :param argv: The argument list :param stdin: The file object to read stdin from. :param root: The directory to chroot to before running command. :param log_output: Whether to log the output of command :param filter_stderr: Whether stderr should be excluded from the returned output :return: The output of the command

pyanaconda.iutil.execWithCaptureBinary(command, argv, stdin=None, root='/', log_output=False, filter_stderr=False)

Run an external program and capture standard out and err as binary data. The binary data output is not logged by default but logging can be enabled. :param command: The command to run :param argv: The argument list :param stdin: The file object to read stdin from. :param root: The directory to chroot to before running command. :param log_output: Whether to log the binary output of the command :param filter_stderr: Whether stderr should be excluded from the returned output :return: The output of the command

pyanaconda.iutil.execWithRedirect(command, argv, stdin=None, stdout=None, root='/', env_prune=None, log_output=True, binary_output=False)

Run an external program and redirect the output to a file. :param command: The command to run :param argv: The argument list :param stdin: The file object to read stdin from. :param stdout: Optional file object to redirect stdout and stderr to. :param root: The directory to chroot to before running command. :param env_prune: environment variable to remove before execution :param log_output: whether to log the output of command :param binary_output: whether to treat the output of command as binary data :return: The return code of the command

pyanaconda.iutil.getDirSize(directory)

pyanaconda.iutil.getSysroot()

Returns the path to the target OS installation.

For ordinary package-based installations, this is the same as the target root.

pyanaconda.iutil.getTargetPhysicalRoot()

Returns the path to the “physical” storage root, traditionally /mnt/sysimage.

This may be distinct from the sysroot, which could be a chroot-type subdirectory of the physical root. This is used for example by all OSTree-based installations.

pyanaconda.iutil.get_active_console(dev='console')

Find the active console device.

Some tty devices (/dev/console, /dev/tty0) aren’t actual devices; they just redirect input and output to the real console device(s).

These ‘fake’ ttys have an ‘active’ sysfs attribute, which lists the real console device(s). (If there’s more than one, the last one in the list is the primary console.)

pyanaconda.iutil.get_mount_paths(devnode)

given a device node, return a list of all active mountpoints.

pyanaconda.iutil.get_platform_groupid()

Return a platform group id string

This runs systemd-detect-virt and if the result is not ‘none’ it prefixes the lower case result with “platform-” for use as a group id.

Returns:Empty string or a group id for the detected platform
Return type:str
pyanaconda.iutil.getdeepattr(obj, name)

This behaves as the standard getattr, but supports composite (containing dots) attribute names.

As an example:

>>> import os
>>> from os.path import split
>>> getdeepattr(os, "path.split") == split
True
pyanaconda.iutil.have_word_match(str1, str2)

Tells if all words from str1 exist in str2 or not.

Parameters:dir – The directory path to create
pyanaconda.iutil.open(*args, **kwargs)

Open a file, and retry on EINTR.

The arguments are the same as those to python’s builtin open.

This is equivalent to eintr_retry_call(open, ...). Some other high-level languages handle this for you, like C’s fopen.

pyanaconda.iutil.parent_dir(directory)

Return the parent’s path

pyanaconda.iutil.parseNfsUrl(nfsurl)
pyanaconda.iutil.persistent_root_image()

This should only be used by Payload subclasses which install operating systems to non-default roots.

pyanaconda.iutil.setTargetPhysicalRoot(path)

Change the physical root path

Parameters:path (string) – Path to use instead of /mnt/sysimage/
pyanaconda.iutil.setdeepattr(obj, name, value)

This behaves as the standard setattr, but supports composite (containing dots) attribute names.

As an example:

>>> class O:
>>>   pass
>>> a = O()
>>> a.b = O()
>>> a.b.c = O()
>>> setdeepattr(a, "b.c.d", True)
>>> a.b.c.d
True
pyanaconda.iutil.setenv(name, value)

Set an environment variable to be used by child processes.

This method does not modify os.environ for the running process, which is not thread-safe. If setenv has already been called for a particular variable name, the old value is overwritten.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – The name of the environment variable
  • value (str) – The value of the environment variable
pyanaconda.iutil.setup_translations()
pyanaconda.iutil.startProgram(argv, root='/', stdin=None, stdout=-1, stderr=-2, env_prune=None, env_add=None, reset_handlers=True, reset_lang=True, **kwargs)

Start an external program and return the Popen object.

The root and reset_handlers arguments are handled by passing a preexec_fn argument to subprocess.Popen, but an additional preexec_fn can still be specified and will be run. The user preexec_fn will be run last.

Parameters:
  • argv – The command to run and argument
  • root – The directory to chroot to before running command.
  • stdin – The file object to read stdin from.
  • stdout – The file object to write stdout to.
  • stderr – The file object to write stderr to.
  • env_prune – environment variables to remove before execution
  • env_add – environment variables to add before execution
  • reset_handlers – whether to reset to SIG_DFL any signal handlers set to SIG_IGN
  • reset_lang – whether to set the locale of the child process to C
  • kwargs – Additional parameters to pass to subprocess.Popen
Returns:

A Popen object for the running command.
pyanaconda.iutil.startX(argv, output_redirect=None)

Start X and return once X is ready to accept connections.

X11, if SIGUSR1 is set to SIG_IGN, will send SIGUSR1 to the parent process once it is ready to accept client connections. This method sets that up and waits for the signal or bombs out if nothing happens for a minute. The process will also be added to the list of watched processes.

Parameters:
  • argv – The command line to run, as a list
  • output_redirect – file or file descriptor to redirect stdout and stderr to
pyanaconda.iutil.start_service(service)
pyanaconda.iutil.stop_service(service)

pyanaconda.iutil.unwatchProcess(proc)

Unwatch a process watched by watchProcess.

Parameters:proc – The Popen object for the process.
pyanaconda.iutil.upcase_first_letter(text)

Helper function that upcases the first letter of the string. Python’s standard string.capitalize() not only upcases the first letter but also lowercases all the others. string.title() capitalizes all words in the string.

Returns:the given text with the first letter upcased
Return type:str
pyanaconda.iutil.upperASCII(s)

Convert a string to uppercase using only ASCII character definitions.

The returned string will contain only ASCII characters. This function is locale-independent.

pyanaconda.iutil.vtActivate(num)

Try to switch to tty number $num.

Returns:whether the switch was successful or not
Return type:bool
pyanaconda.iutil.watchProcess(proc, name)

Watch for a process exit, and raise a ExitError when it does.

This method installs a SIGCHLD signal handler and thus interferes the child_watch_add methods in GLib. Use watchProcessGLib to convert to GLib mode if using a GLib main loop.

Since the SIGCHLD handler calls wait() on the watched process, this call cannot be combined with Popen.wait() or Popen.communicate, and also doing so wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Parameters:
  • proc – The Popen object for the process
  • name – The name of the process
pyanaconda.iutil.watchProcessGLib()

Convert process watching to GLib mode.

This allows anaconda modes that use GLib main loops to use GLib.child_watch_add and continue to watch processes started before the main loop.

pyanaconda.iutil.xprogressive_delay()

A delay generator, the delay starts short and gets longer as the internal counter increases. For example for 10 retries, the delay will increases from 0.5 to 256 seconds.

Parameters:retry_number (int) – retry counter
Returns float:time to wait in seconds

pyanaconda.kexec module

exception pyanaconda.kexec.GrubbyInfoError

pyanaconda.kexec.setup_kexec(extra_args=None)

Setup kexec to use the new kernel and default bootloader entry

Parameters:extra_args (list) – Extra arguments to pass to kexec

This uses grubby to determine the bootloader arguments from the default entry, and then sets up kexec so that reboot will use the new kernel and initrd instead of doing a full reboot.

Note

Once kexec is called there is nothing else to do, the reboot code already handles having kexec setup.

pyanaconda.safe_dbus.get_new_session_connection()

Get a connection handle for the per-user-login-session message bus.

!!! RUN THIS EARLY !!! like, before any other threads start. Connections to the session bus must be made with the effective UID of the login user, which in live installs is not the UID of anaconda. This means we need to call seteuid in this method, and doing that after threads have started will probably do something weird.

Live installs use consolehelper to run as root, which sets the original UID in $USERHELPER_UID.

Returns:

the session connection handle
Return type:

Gio.DBusConnection
Raises:

unpacked value of the property
Return type:

tuple with elements that depend on the type of the property
Raises:
  • DBusCallError – when the internal dbus_call_safe_sync invocation raises an exception

pyanaconda.threads module

class pyanaconda.threads.AnacondaThread(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: threading.Thread

A threading.Thread subclass that exists only for a couple purposes:

  1. Make exceptions that happen in a thread invoke our exception handling code as well. Otherwise, threads will silently die and we are doing a lot of complicated code in them now.
  2. Remove themselves from the thread manager when completed.
  3. All created threads are made daemonic, which means anaconda will quit when the main process is killed.
run(*args, **kwargs)
class pyanaconda.threads.ThreadManager

Bases: builtins.object

A singleton class for managing threads and processes.

Notes: THE INSTANCE HAS TO BE CREATED IN THE MAIN THREAD!

This manager makes one assumption that contradicts python’s threading module documentation. In this class, we assume that thread names are unique and meaningful. This is an okay assumption for us to make given that anaconda is only ever going to have a handful of special purpose threads.

add(obj)

Given a Thread or Process object, add it to the list of known objects and start it. It is assumed that obj.name is unique and descriptive.

any_errors

Return True of there have been any errors in any threads

exists(name)

Determine if a thread or process exists with the given name.

get(name)

Given an object name, see if it exists and return the object. Return None if no such object exists. Additionally, this method will re-raise any uncaught exception in the thread.

get_error(name)

Get the error data for a thread using its name

in_main_thread()

Return True if it is run in the main thread.

names

Return the names of the running threads.

Returns:list of thread names
Return type:list of strings
raise_if_error(name)

If a thread has failed due to an exception, raise it into the main thread and remove it from errors.

remove(name)

Removes a thread from the list of known objects. This should only be called when a thread exits, or there will be no way to get a handle on it.

running

Return the number of running threads.

Returns:number of running threads
Return type:int
set_error(name, *exc_info)

Set the error data for a thread

The exception data is expected to be the tuple from sys.exc_info()

wait(name)

Wait for the thread to exit and if the thread exited with an error re-raise it here.

wait_all()

Wait for all threads to exit and if there was an error re-raise it.

wait_for_error_threads()

Waits for all threads that caused exceptions. In other words, waits for exception handling (possibly interactive) to be finished.

pyanaconda.threads.initThreading()

Set up threading for anaconda’s use. This method must be called before any GTK or threading code is called, or else threads will only run when an event is triggered in the GTK main loop. And IT HAS TO BE CALLED IN THE MAIN THREAD.

Create a new user on the system with the given name. Optional kwargs:

gid – The GID for the new user. If none is given, the next
available one is used.
root – The directory of the system to create the new user
in. homedir will be interpreted relative to this. Defaults to /mnt/sysimage.
createUser(user_name, *args, **kwargs)

Create a new user on the system with the given name. Optional kwargs:

algo – The password algorithm to use in case isCrypted=True.
If none is given, the cryptPassword default is used.
gecos – The GECOS information (full name, office, phone, etc.).
Defaults to “”.
groups – A list of existing group names the user should be
added to. Defaults to [].
homedir – The home directory for the new user. Defaults to
/home/<name>.
isCrypted – Is the password kwargs already encrypted? Defaults
to False.
lock – Is the new account locked by default? Defaults to
False.
password – The password. See isCrypted for how this is interpreted.
If the password is “” then the account is created with a blank password. If None or False the account will be left in its initial state (locked)
root – The directory of the system to create the new user
in. homedir will be interpreted relative to this. Defaults to /mnt/sysimage.
shell – The shell for the new user. If none is given, the
libuser default is used.
uid – The UID for the new user. If none is given, the next
available one is used.
gid – The GID for the new user. If none is given, the next
available one is used.

setUserSshKey(username, key, **kwargs)
pyanaconda.users.createLuserConf(instPath, algoname='sha512')

Writes a libuser.conf for instPath.

This must be called before User() is instantiated the first time so that libuser.admin will use the temporary config file.

pyanaconda.users.cryptPassword(password, algo=None)
pyanaconda.users.getPassAlgo(authconfigStr)

Reads the auth string and returns a string indicating our desired password encoding algorithm.

pyanaconda.users.guess_username(fullname)
pyanaconda.users.validatePassword(pw, user='root', settings=None, minlen=None)

Check the quality of a password.

This function does three things: given a password and an optional username, it will tell if this password can be used at all, how strong the password is on a scale of 1-100, and, if the password is unusable, why it is unusuable.

This function uses libpwquality to check the password strength. pwquality will raise a PWQError on a weak password, which, honestly, is kind of dumb behavior. A weak password isn’t exceptional, it’s what we’re asking about! Anyway, this function does not raise PWQError. If the password fails the PWQSettings conditions, the first member of the return tuple will be False and the second member of the tuple will be 0.

Parameters:
  • pw (string) – the password to check
  • user (string) – the username for which the password is being set. If no username is provided, “root” will be used. Use user=None to disable the username check.
  • settings (pwquality.PWQSettings) – an optional PWQSettings object
  • minlen (int) – Minimum acceptable password length. If not passed, use the default length from PASSWORD_MIN_LEN
Returns:

A tuple containing (bool(valid), int(score), str(message))
Return type:

tuple

pyanaconda.vnc.shutdownServer()

Why is this function on the module level and not in the VncServer class ?

As the server needs to be killed from the exit handler, it would have to somehow get to the VncServer instance. Like this, it can just kill it by calling a function of the vnc module.
