Currently rules are evaluated with something like: result = eval( self.args.rule, rulesenv ) However this contaminates the rulesenv with the __builtins__ ...

... Not at all, and in fact the current development version already has these changes. I got annoyed with the horrible mess in the logs too. Regards, Chris. ...
As a follow-up to this issue (for interest) I was just reading a fact about eval() in python-list that if the second argument is an empty dictionary (as the...

Just some feedback from converting our servers up to the new 0.30 version. * The FS delta seems to have disappeared. * It would be nice if there was a delta...

Hi everybody, Eddie is nice, and attractive for Pythonistas. :^) The only showstopping feature is the integration with relational databases. I was thinking...
Ok, simple really. The framework we have in place allows for any data that Eddie collects to be sent to any type of listener(s) to store that data in whatever...
Some time ago I wrote a multithreaded Python program to extract some net statistics for a number of hosts, using ICMP ping and SNMP. The memory of a nagging...
Yes, pinging as a non-privileged user is always a problem. Eddie's current attitude is that it will be run as root, to be able to automatically restart ...
