I'm looking at doing a similar thing for Edison [0] (also written in Django!). For the moment, I've written "pyfacter" - a basic python wrapper around the command line [1] - however I'd like to improve on this if possible. One thing I was planning on looking at was writing a python client for MCollective and using the audit tools available as part of MC to collect the facts either into a database or at runtime but that requires the ability to use Python with MC (nudge @rip :P) The only other solution I can think of is a cronjob that runs on each host on a regular basis and posts/puts to an API to fill the relevant field in the database.
