Rohit Yadav commented on CLOUDSTACK-132:
----------------------------------------
Some ideas; We can embed and reuse bpython; if we want to further simplify the
dependencies, we can just use readlines and cmd.
The client will have two ways to executing commands;
1. <client> <arg> which executes the command on a shell
2. <client> <no args> will start a shell where one can run multiple commands
and stitch them with loops and controls, for example this is useful if I want
to stop all the VMs or start 100 VMs etc.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-132
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Test Tools
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, pre-4.0.0
> Reporter: Prasanna Santhanam
> Assignee: Rohit Yadav
> Fix For: 4.1.0
>
>
> The marvin libraries contain the capability to convert marvin into an
> interactive shell for CloudStack. Every cloud provider has an auto-completing
> shell and cloudstack lacks options for this now. This should involve
> refactoring all the marvin libraries to allow for auto-completion of APIs.
> Furthermore the ability to autocomplete the entities like templates, images,
> virtualmachines need to exist as a part of such a shell to make it useful at
> cloudscale
