Re: [boto-users] boto and network acl support

[Mitchell Garnaat]

Hi -

The basic approach to handling this kind of situation is to create a new class designed to hold the subordinate data and make that object responsible for parsing the data within that subordinate type.

For example, if you look at instance.py you will see a class called InstanceState.  That class is responsible for parsing the status code and status name data for an instance.  To get this working, the Instance object adds code to it's startElement method that creates a new InstanceState object when the appropriate XML element is encountered and returns that object so it gets pushed onto the stack.  That InstanceState object then handles the parsing of the <code> and <name>.  Once the closing element is encountered, the InstanceState object gets popped off the stack.

Does that help?

I've been working on a fork that supports network acl support.

The problem I'm currently having :

In the http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-DescribeNetworkAcls.html call, a response with the network portRange will appear as:

   <item>
     <ruleNumber>110</ruleNumber>
     <protocol>6</protocol>
     <ruleAction>allow</ruleAction>
     <egress>false</egress>
     <cidrBlock>0.0.0.0/0</cidrBlock>
     <portRange>
       <from>80</from>
       <to>80</to>
     </portRange>
   </item>
 

and I can't quite figure out how to break that apart in my NetworkAclEntry class.  Most of the other responses would have portRangeFrom and portRangeTo instead of nested items.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to get this pull request merged :).


Thanks,


James

Hi,

I am using Boto.Version is 2.8.0 and I wanted to ask does it support network ACLs ?

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_ACLs.html

I see you may have added it in but can you tell me what version of Boto it is in? 

Otherwise, how can I set Network ACLs in AWS using python?

many thanks

Bernadette
