Phacter:

• is a python port of facter, a tool included in Puppet
• provides an inventory of your system
• can print the inventory to stdout, or as Python dict
• is the first part of a project that aims to be a python-based systems administration framework called Speed (ServersOnSpeed)
• aims to be as cross-platform, using built-in modules wherever possible
• provides the exact same data and variable names as Facter

TODO:

• Use distutils to package this and submit to PyPI
• A little over half the Linux facts are complete, still need around 18 to match Facter
• Complete the Windows and Darwin modules
