If you are wanting to work on development of SSHreader, first ensure Poetry is installed and then:
poetry install --with dev
To ensure all development requirements are met. This will allow you to run the unit/integration tests!
If you have installed Poetry] you can build its Sphinx Documentation for SSHreader simply by:
make docs
Then simply open docs/build/html/index.html in your browser.
Included with sshreader is a script called pydsh. This works very similar topdsh
but uses sshreader at its core to perform ssh commands in parallel and return the results.
The output of pydsh can also be piped through the dshbak tool that comes with pdsh.
Pydsh uses hostlist expressions to get its list of hosts to process.
