parse included files

[ezzra]

with Include filename you can separate your ssh configuration over several files, but sshconf is unfortunately not able to parse them

[sorend]

@ezzra do you have need for both reading and writing such a configuration, or only parsing? Currently the library deals with only one file at a time, and include is just a setting in the file.

I will think about a wrapper to deal with includes if you have the need.

I would like to be able to add an Include to the main config file, and then do the rest of the work on the file I included. Thank you for all the work you've put into this lib so far :)

@ezzra @aviadra : Can you try out 0.2.1 release of the library? Instead of invoking "write(filename)" you need to use the new "save()" method, which overwrites the existing files.

Let me know what you think -- feedback welcome :-)

Best regards, Soren

So usage would be c.save() ? And how do I tell that I want to add an Include? I'm sorry I didn't follow

first reaction: update the readme to note that "empty_ssh_config" is now "empty_ssh_config_file"

@aviadra -- thanks, I'll update it with some more examples (and fix the one I forgot :) ).

Some time since I've touched this project, but hope I can get it done today.

BR, Soren

[aviadra]

Thank you. And what about my include question?

Hi! I also have the same use case for reading the file, recently we split configs over multiple files which are included from ~/.ssh/config. The below code fails:

  BASTION_SSH_CONFIG=~/.ssh/config
  ssh_config = sshconf.read_ssh_config(BASTION_SSH_CONFIG)
  ssh_bastion = ssh_config.host(ssh_config_host)

  return SSHTunnelForwarder(
        ssh_bastion['hostname'],
        ssh_username=ssh_bastion['user'],
        ssh_pkey=ssh_bastion['identityfile'],
        remote_bind_address=(remote_host, remote_port)
    )

with

   ...
    ssh_bastion['hostname'],
KeyError: 'hostname'

I have to to set BASTION_SSH_CONFIG=~/.ssh/included_file.config for it to work.
